A Raleigh for Christmas
- 27 Nov 06, 02:24 PM
So how do you prepare for a radio show if you've never done one before?
That is a question Alan Simpson has been wrestling with while getting ready for his new afternoon slot - and he has been giving it a lot of thought.
"For a start I have been drinking a lot of tea... Anyway the one interesting thing we have been doing over the last week is our vinyl jukebox. We are going to bring back vinyl and we've got three thousand seven inch singles that we picked up from a DJ.
"We have also been working with a couple of people who are going to be our regular contributors, so for example, Andrea McVeigh will be doing our showbiz roundup and looking at gadgets and gizmos."
Alan has also had to contend with learning the technical side of broadcasting.
"Going into studio is like going onto Concorde," he joked, "people say to me 'all you do is talk' but there are so many things to keep and eye on.
"I said to somebody 'it is like having a Raleigh bike for Christmas - it is locked away until Christmas Day but all you want to do is to get on."
