Time for...Radio Classics (featuring Steve Lamacq)

Listen on

Episode notes

The radio accompanies us through our lives. Helping to define our eras; dragging us out of bed on a Monday morning; helping us through long drives; and becoming almost family! We grow up with our favourite radio DJs, following them as they move stations. And we jump around the dial depending on our mood. This week’s episode is dedicated to all of this.

Susie and Esther recreate DESERT ISLAND DISCS, subtly re-titled, SANDY ISLAND RECORDS... And the sketch is an homage to the radio. See if you can name the radio stations referenced!

The special guest this week is a Radio Classic himself. The legendary BBC Radio 1 and Radio 6 Music DJ, STEVE LAMACQ. Steve wanted to be a DJ from a very young age and didn’t imagine that it could actually happen! After a spell refereeing Under-12s football matches, journalism beckoned! He talks Esther and Susie through his early career and the dedication that has led to his position as the most respected DJ on radio. He also discusses his love of a certain radio drama! Steve is as fascinating as you’d imagine and his interview is a treat to listen to.
