Radioactivity

I was live on Spanish radio this morning, would you believe. Not RNE or SER, but the ambitiously-named Talk Radio Europe, a station for guiri expats somewhere down Malaga way. My old friend Jeremy Hitchin interviewed me about the economic crisis and its effect on advertising for his breakfast show. Having recently been made redundant from a job in that very industry, I felt suitably qualified to voice an opinion. Thanks to the miracles of technology, I was sitting in Glasgow, Jeremy was in a studio in Edinburgh and the show was produced and aired somewhere on the costa, from where a number of opinionated and quite possibly drunk retired expats phone in each day for a good old rant. The station is great fun for a while (the playlist makes Smooth FM sound challenging) and Jeremy, at least, is brilliant. Here's a picture of the poptastic geezer himself. If you ever want a cost-effective comic impressionist voice-over, he's your man. Hear the station on http://www.talkradioeurope.com.
