🚨 Ever since we raised money last year, I've been talking to a brilliant journalist in Glasgow about setting up a new title there. To do it, we need a second staff writer, so please get in touch if that's you. Given the drama of 🏴 politics right now, the timing feels 👌.
Steve Wright was a king of broadcasting. He made it look effortless, but put so much work into every link, every song and radio programme. A huge loss.
Steve Wright is one of our greatest ever broadcasters.
He made everything sound effortless, and worked so hard to make every show world class. He was a constant inspiration to me on how to do radio that sounded big.
When I first started doing shows at Radio 2, he and I spent hours reminiscing about his days at Radio 1, and I would listen to his stories and wisdom in awe.
My thoughts are with his family and my colleagues who have worked with him for so many years.
Steve, you’re the best to ever do it.
BBC Radio 1 is extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Radio 1 DJ, Annie Nightingale CBE. Our deepest condolences are with Annie’s friends and family at this incredibly difficult time.
Rest in peace, Annie 🤍
📻 After 31 years presenting the 9.30am–midday weekday show @BBCRadio2, Ken Bruce has announced he has decided to leave in March. https://t.co/jj8uPq0rsz
Feel a bit weird today. Scott Mills has been a constant for most of my life and the joy and creativity he brings every single day is one of the reasons I wanted to work in radio. One of the very best - we could all be more Mills.
Journalists/reporters/presenters: If you're covering the Levelling Up White Paper today and work for an organisation which supposedly covers/serves the whole of the UK, remember it's probably not just "the north" but more likely "the north *of England*"🇬🇧

I've been working with @chloeonradio for the last wee while on this and we're very excited that it's going to be out next week!
Some big old guests coming up throughout the series - would love for you to check it out.
I’ve got a podcast!!! *happy dance*
1st episode is out on Wed 26th Aug via the UCB Player or wherever you get your podcasts from. Each week I’ll be joined by a different guest to explore what it means to be “in the world but not of it”. I can’t wait to share it with you! 🤩🌤
This is a powerful and direct conversation which dispels some of the absurd myths that unfortunately still exist surrounding racism in sport and society.
Worth 30 mins of your time.
If you missed it earlier - make sure you go back and listen to our interview with Michael Holding about his book at Lunch on TMS today.
As usual Michael Holding was powerful, passionate and brilliant.
