🎉 Still in shock and so honoured to have picked up Gold for Young Person of the Year at the Community Radio Awards! 🏆 A huge thank you to everyone who’s supported me, and what a privilege to be presented with a trophy by the iconic @stephaniehirst.bsky.social! 🫶 📺👉 m.youtube.com/watch?v=ghas...

🎉 Absolutely buzzing to share that I’ve been nominated for Young Person of the Year at the UK Community Radio Awards 2025! #CRAs2025

🚨 I am SUPER excited to be joining the team at BBC Radio Solent and start freelancing from next month! 👇 (1/3)

If it wasn’t against Ofcom rules to not clearly distinguish between editorial and commercial content, I’d stick Steve’s Lava Chicken in an ad break - then wait for presenters and sales to ask A) who signed off on it and B) what the hell it’s supposed to be advertising.

Awesome time representing @expressfm.com at the @radioacademy.bsky.social #UKARIAS! And great to run into legends as well as friends across the industry! 🖤 Congrats to @forth1official.bsky.social and all the winners! We come away with our heads held high as one of the UK’s top six local stations! 🙌

Enjoying this year’s #UKARIAS with the @expressfm.com team! @radioacademy.bsky.social

Delighted to be teaming up with our friends at Pompey Poetry Party again (following last year’s D-Day 80 commemorations) for the 80th anniversary of VE Day next week. Thanks to Caroline and the team for making this possible. @expressfm.com www.expressfm.com/news/updates...

Express FM & Pompey Poetry Party team up for VE Day anniversary

Portsmouth's Express FM is once again joining forces with Pompey Poetry Party to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day next week.

One of the funniest things ever to happen during my time working in radio… After a presenter mistakenly imported SFX to the music database, “Single Hawk Screech by The Hollywood Edge Sound Effects Library” was recorded by Radiomonitor as our 9th most-played song of the week.

A spontaneous trip to the Devon coast calls for a spontaneous steam-hauled charter - the inaugural passenger service for 5029 Nunney Castle (diesel-assisted due to the recent dry weather) in 10 years! Tackling the stormy conditions as it travels back to Taunton from Kingswear.

Lovely article from our partners at The News about @expressfm.com’s @radioacademy.bsky.social ARIAS nod. We look forward to flying the flag for community radio in London next month - alongside some excellent BBC & commercial stations, as one united industry. www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/express...

It hasn’t sunk in, and it won’t - our little radio station alongside the BBC and Bauer at the Oscars of the radio industry. This team, this city, this station. Words cannot articulate how proud I am of each and every one of my colleagues who give their time to us for free. YOU are incredible!!! 🙌

🚨🚨 What’s your favourite biscuit happening now on 5 Live 🚨🚨 @mattchorley.bsky.social

Did I hear @iaindale.bsky.social appeal for new @lbc.co.uk jingles? That just wouldn’t feel right… but then again 5 Live had to lose this at some point! 🙈 m.youtube.com/watch?v=OlnL...

Watching the right tear themselves apart over Farage vs Lowe - including prominent talk show hosts & journalists who don’t know which bandwagon to jump on - is very entertaining. I’m no fan of either, but Lowe is the fringe element - a nobody to most outside the X-sphere. Choose your battles.

Leader of the Free World and his current VP puppet (who’ll be stitched up and probably fired not before long) hounding the representative of every innocent life and community being destroyed by an evil dictator right in front of the world’s media. What a dark, dark, day for human civilisation.

Really excited to strengthen @expressfm.com’s partnership with #Portsmouth Pride and extend our weekly show for the local LGBTQIA+ community ahead of the city hosting UK Pride 2025 in June - including regular co-hosting by the organisation’s Co-Chair. www.expressfm.com/news/updates...

Great new monthly show from @expressfm.com currently on-air which delves into the history of Pompey’s beloved Football Club, presented by lifelong fan and ex-BBC Radio Gloucestershire presenter Richard Atkins-Greig. Strengthening the solid partnership between Express and #Pompey History Society.

Today, the final radio shows were presented from Global’s studios in Segensworth West. Power FM and Ocean FM were the first stations I ever visited (in a pram). So, that’s that.

She who must be obeyed and I had a wholesome first ever cat cafe experience yesterday. The only downside was not being able to take them all home 😢

Hard to believe it’s been two years since #InsideOurAutisticMinds debuted on BBC Two. A lot has happened in that time but there has been no greater honour or privilege for me than to be Murray’s voice. You can still watch on iPlayer. Real, heartfelt, emotional, influential. © BBC Studios

📻 Happy #WorldRadioDay! ❤️ I never lose sight of the privilege it is to do what I do every day and have done (in one form or another) for more than a decade! 🗞️ Here’s my full interview with a local newspaper last year: www.linkedin.com/pulse/interv...

What a weekend with @expressfm.com - celebrating our amazing team of volunteers with awards on Friday night, followed by ten hours of live radio from a local music festival the next day! Think I’ve earned a lie-in tomorrow though!

News UK replicates TalkRadio’s extensive visual offering over at talkSPORT. Interested to see what viewers get during live commentaries (licenced as radio broadcasts). Brand heritage + less free-to-air sports programming means more potential over the ill-fated TalkTV. www.news.co.uk/latest-news/...

This gave me a good chuckle. Like when we advise radio presenters to speak normally and refrain from “in-talk” - same goes for railway staff! Anyway, sorry I’m late - another bloody track circuit failure.

What percentage of UK Netflix / Disney+ viewers don’t already pay the licence fee? While the BBC is good value, is - not only upholding but expanding - the ancient funding model fair? With general taxation ruled out I don’t see how else existing ops can be afforded. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

UK Considers Making Netflix Users Pay License Fee to Fund BBC

The UK is considering making households who only use streaming services such as Netflix and Disney pay the BBC license fee, as part of plans to modernize the way it funds the public-service broadcaste...
