audio producer & radio presenter 🎧 northerner in the south, proudly still calling it “dinner” & “tea” (and "twitter")

[George Smith @GeorgeR_Smith]

loved making the @bbccreative radio promos for the new natural history series The Americas, narrated by Tom Hanks (sadly didn't get to meet the man himself, though...)

here's what's been running on Radio 2 this week 👇🏻

fell into a bit of a creative rut at the end of 2024, so 2025 is about getting my creative mind going again - starting by forcing myself onto TikTok (fashionably late...)

follow me there pls (i'm currently playing pop songs on a Nokia 3310, obviously)❤️ https://t.co/yP5xhFwWHF

@Tweet_Dec i watched them all from start to (at the time) finish during lockdown, mostly as I was of the same mindset.
i'd say yes!
nothing hits the peak of the early seasons, but it is genuinely interesting to see how some seasons are... not bad (while some are, of course, truly dogshit)

i realised flights to Ireland were cheaper than my train home from work, so naturally… ☘️🇮🇪

[George Smith @GeorgeR_Smith]

the wombats - backfire at the disco just came on shuffle... why do so few songs make use of that incredible word we have in the english language - "shite" ???

[George Smith @GeorgeR_Smith]

caught my postie's eye out of the window - they smile at me... then stick my parcel in a HEDGE

[George Smith @GeorgeR_Smith]

Facebook memories tells me it’s 6 years today since the strangest radio show interruption I’ve ever had (loud bangs in the background of links because two peacocks started fighting outside the studio window)

[George Smith @GeorgeR_Smith]

there really should be a law against selling a mediocre pre-packed sandwich, a Coke & crisps for SIX POUNDS and claiming it’s a “deal”…

[George Smith @GeorgeR_Smith]

ah yes, this is DEFINITELY a platform full of people i want to speak to…

[News @XNews]

audio and video calling are now available to everyone on X! who are you calling first?

[George Smith @GeorgeR_Smith]

i assume there are lots of people in the market for a James Naughtie Presents The Today Programme egg cup, so GOOD NEWS… i’ve tracked one down

[George Smith @GeorgeR_Smith]

thank you for kind birthday messages, much appreciated! 🩷
if you need me for the rest of the evening… 🍻

[George Smith @GeorgeR_Smith]

@sophxthompson i always look forward to regretting life decisions in the future!
