About this Blog

I work across the radio industry as a freelancer.

My main work now comes from the BBC's News Traffic Unit. It's not what's happening on the M1 southbound, but the first port of call for correspondents around the UK and world ready to file a story ('despatch') to anyone from the World Service to News 24, the Asian Network to BBC1 television bulletins, Radio 1 Newsbeat to The Today Programme.

I also work at BBC Three Counties Radio, Radio Five Live and Trafficlink, the company who supply traffic and travel news to BBC and commercial radio stations.
