HERE IT IS: The inside scoop on my journey from happy-go-lucky tourist to @BBCRadio2 contributor.

Before we go any further, 100% of this dream-come-to-life was because of the generosity of one man, producer Tim Johns, AKA @timoncheese and pictured here gladly and plaidly:

@EBRedding5 @simonmayo For what it’s worth, I spoke with her last week and she didn’t correct me, but everyone’s mileage is welcome to vary.

@simonmayo The Vatican Raaaaaaag!

@simonmayo Unfathomable Nigel anticipation

@Mattm_Williams @BookiePrize @FootballCliches @DannyCipriani87 @philtufnell @wiegman_s Matthew, how do you read SO much? What your secret?

[Andy Stilp @andystilp]

@simonmayo Impressive, Madame President.

@simonmayo I'm telling you, Steve Forbert, album of the week candidate! Jackrabbit Slim is an all-timer!

@simonmayo Weird weekend, fellas.

@rhwilson83 Wow. This makes every other office space look like a prison. Amazing!

.@jonsopel Your handle of Wisconsin geography is spectacular: Lake Mendota is indeed just a mile from my door. But to disappoint @maitlis, I'm Wisconsin born and raised! @TheNewsAgents

Now to you: how do you know Wisconsin so well??

@simonmayo Thursdays: HIGHLY get-down-able.
