Hi Folks,
I hope you are all well, and not too dissapointed with this early autumnal weather? I mean, where has all the lovely warm sunshine gone? I suppose we must be grateful. After all, we have had a pretty good summer this year, and at least it's more comfortable trying to sleep now!
I had a great day last Wednesday and really enjoyed my session on Allan Beswick's Breakfast Show on BBC Radio Manchester. It was only my second attempt in my role as a guest newspaper reviewer, but I'm really enjoying it and I'm learning some really useful skills.
For those of you who don't know me, I tend to talk in great detail about things, especially if I feel really passionate about the subject. I know this can be very boring to some and the radio show is teaching me to be much more succinct; a skill that I will find very useful, especially at work.
This week, I chose to review two stories about the atrocities in Northern Iraq, two health related stories; diabetes and obesity, one on the untimely death of Robin Williams and one story related to this years A-Level results.
If you would like to listen, you can access the programme on the link below. Hurry up though, because it is only there for another three days! If you scroll along the time line to 45 minutes and then again to 1 hour and 20 minutes, you'll catch me and Allan enjoying a jolly good natter. I really like that man. He is very funny and puts me at my ease very quickly. Here's hoping for many more sessions to come!
