For those who love words

I have always loved radio and over the past year I have been lucky enough to be invited to appear on quite a few different stations. In a moment of crazed enthusiasm I put a Facebook status up that I would really like my own radio show. Jude Cowan replied and now we are both co-hosts of a new radio program 'The Conversational' and friends too. I could not have wished for more.

Reel Rebels Radio is a popular and really special community radio station based just down the road from me in Stoke Newington. Jude and I decided that we wanted to present a radio show that celebrated words, written, performed and sung and were really excited when Reel Rebels Radio said yes to our idea.

You can listen to our first show, presented on National Poetry Day here. The show has a great line-up and features: Raymond Antrobus, Dzifa Benson, Matthew Caley, Zena Edwards, Nathan Penlington,and the Desperado Housewives.
