TV Booth Podcast

You are about to hear an interview with Kamahl Santamaria. Since this episode was recorded, Kamahl has left Al Jazeera and returned to New Zealand, where he began presenting the Breakfast programme on TVNZ. In May 2022 certain allegations came to light which has since resulted in Kamahl leaving the programme. I wish to make it known that I was not aware of any of the allegations made prior to recording this interview with Kamahl. After careful consideration, I've decided that this chat will stay online, but with an advisory that this was recorded in January 2022, prior to any allegations being made. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tvlivepodcast/message

In particular, she reveals how Fern Britton persuaded her to become a continuity announcer, the day that Princess Diana died, and her final days at London Weekend Television.

In my first face-to-face meeting with a podcast guest, I chat to BBC Breakfast presenter Mike Bushell. He discusses how his career began, and he'll be looking back at some of the sports he has covered over the years. He also discusses THAT incident at the Commonwealth Games in 2018, and there's a funny story about a tandem bicycle.  CREDITS Host: Rob Francis Guest: Mike Bushell Voice: James Bailey Podcast recorded at the White Hart, Overton (with thanks to Nick Davies and his team for looking after us).
