Foxy's guest this episode is a former Whatnotter. You know, from the Saturday Whatnot on Essex Radio... No? If that's not ringing any bells, maybe you know him from his mere 26 years at Key 103 / Hits Radio. YES! That Mike Toolan! Of course he's one … -

The guest on this episode could be called a 'one station man'.... that is if he hadn't moved somewhere else almost exactly ten years ago! Nigel Freshman*, or Fresh to his listeners, was undeniably 'Mr Beacon' until his love affair with the station tu…
