    Jeremy Vine on his love for radio, his leap into crime fiction, and the songs that soundtrack his life

    Joining us today is one of British broadcasting’s most recognisable voices and faces—a journalist and presenter whose career has spanned nearly four decades of sharp reporting, compelling storytelling, and unforgettable interviews. He’s done it all—and now he’s turning his hand to fiction. It’s the brilliant Jeremy Vine! In this episode, we take a slightly different approach, handing the mic over to a man whose love for music rivals his passion for journalism. We ask just one question: Can we walk through your life via your favourite pieces of music? From that starting point, we dive into a conversation that’s part career retrospective, part personal playlist—almost like stepping into Jeremy’s Jukebox. Jeremy shares the songs that have shaped him, from childhood memories to pivotal career moments, and opens up about how music has been an all-encompassing source of joy, comfort, and inspiration throughout his life. Along the way, we hear about his early days as a trainee journalist, his time as the BBC’s Africa Correspondent, and the evolution of The Jeremy Vine Show across radio and television. Now embracing an exciting new chapter, Jeremy also talks about his lifelong love of Agatha Christie and how it led him to write his own crime novel, Murder on Line One. He reflects on the challenges of fiction writing, the thrill of creating a whodunnit, and how he fits it all in alongside his packed broadcasting schedule. His debut novel, Murder on Line One—the first in his brand-new crime series—is available now wherever you get your books, and you can catch him every weekday on The Jeremy Vine Show on Channel 5 and BBC Radio 2.
