intro to price metro radio

He was the boarding school boy who lied about his age and was to emerge as one of the leading programmers of his generation. Giles Squire joined a new United Biscuits Network which was to become renowned as a training ground for the new commercial radio network as it made its debut in the early seventies. It was to that network that Giles was appointed as Metro Radio went on-air. He was to remain within its growing group for 22 changing years, before leaving to play a key role in other companies as they acquired stations. Now semi-retired and relaxing in France, Giles reflects in this hour of 'Conversations' about his successes and heartaches. The bosses who terrified him, the lessons he learned and many pearls of simple programming wisdom along the way. In his own words, this is the Giles Squire story. Music by [Larry Bryant.](http://www.larrybryant.com) The whole 'Conversations' series can be enjoyed [here](https://audioboom.com/playlists/1307245-conversations).

Call him anything but not a shock jock. This is the story of the Southerner who moved North and defined UK late night radio.  James Whale began his radio career on Day One at Newcastle’s Metro Radio, before moving to a brief, frustrating stint at BBC Radio Derby. When Radio Aire called, James answered and delivered a programme which was not only to be on radio but on TV too in one of the earliest ever televised radio programmes. Thus began a successful TV career, a rarity for a radio name. James was to appear on a host more stations including, notably, the original Talk Radio UK (later Talk Sport). In this hour of ‘Conversations’ James opens up about the end of his days there, his career before, his cancer, and his views on BBC local radio. He shares too his reasons for entering the Celebrity Big Brother house – his thoughts on what makes a great broadcaster - and his current radio life. In his own words, this is the James Whale story. See the whole 'Conversations' series [here.](https://audioboom.com/playlists/1307245-conversations) Music by L[arry Bryant.](http://www.larrybryant.com) (James's book at http://www.jameswhale.co.uk/books/)

This is the story of a man whose career grew from hospital radio roots to enjoy one of the longest commercial radio careers on national radio. In this edition of #Radiomoments ‘Conversations’, Russ Williams tells of his debut on a new Southern Sound before being lured north to a booming Metro Radio. A call from Richard Park secured Russ’s appointment at Capital, before he transferred to the launch of the national AM station, Virgin 1215. After years on breakfast with ‘Russ n’ Jono’, an enviably long spell on mid-mornings began. In this hour, Russ tells of his influences, life at the National Broadcasting School, his favourite programme directors and of what life was like during the frenetic Chris Evans spell at Virgin. In his own words, this is the Russ Williams story. Hear the full Conversations series [here](https://www.davidlloydradio.com/conversations). Music by [Larry Bryant.](http://www.larrybryant.com/)
