As well
as working in print media
there's a chance you'll have heard me on radio in the
following places:
•
BBC London Radio Breakfast Show: Hosted by Jo Good and
until recently Baylen Leonard, who's now left to make way
for Max Rushden, I made my debut talking about gadgets in
late 2006 and have appeared a few times since, most
recently in February 08. Delighted to be appearing on one
of my favourite shows.
• BBC
World Service "Digital Planet" - I made my debut on this
show - they cut the stammering (see blog
entry) - in early 2007 and
have followed this up with semi-regular appearances as a
reporter.
• Woman's Hour: In August 2006 I made an
appearance talking about freelancing, work/life balance and
related matters. You can listen to the piece by
clicking here.
• Guardian Podcasts: In June 2006 I started
podcasting for the Guardian under the Business Sense brand
(to match the supplement for which I write). You can listen
to the podcasts here.
• BBC Webwise: In 2002 I took part in a
couple of TV programmes as an 'expert' panellist alongside
industry specialists on electronic business, which were
broadcast on BBC2. The objective was to educate businesses,
particularlly smaller traders, on the benefits of trading
electronically (which doesn't always mean taking cash over
the Internet).
•
Sky Television: For two or three years I
was one of the regular panellists on DotTV (formerly the
Computer Channel, part of the Sky network) which had a
programme called 'Chips With Everything' - I was
essentially one of a regular band of agony uncles and
aunts, actually mostly uncles, who'd help viewers with
their IT angst. Broadcast five times a week this was
probably the most successful of .TV's programmes, but hey,
I would say that...
•
Open University: No I didn't have to grow
the sideburns and yes I've heard all those gags before.
Nevertheless in 2002 I recorded an audio interview as an
expert in Bluetooth technology which was pretty new at the
time!
