John Waite chooses his highlights from the previous seven days of 蜜芽传媒 Radio.
Myth and reality are my themes this week. For example - do all gravediggers have to be gruesome? And did Adam and Eve inspire the Apple Computer people in the naming of their product. When Johnny Rotten was a famous punk, his image was of the anti-Christ; now he's author John Lydon hawking his latest volume, what's the modern-day reality...and come to that what's Brahms like when you get behind his beard.
Join me, the legend that is John Waite, for the too too solid flesh of Pick of the Week Sunday evening at 6.15.

John Waite
Born in Stoke-on-Trent, John Waite joined the 蜜芽传媒 as a trainee in 1973 working his way up to being a news presenter on 蜜芽传媒 Radio London by the early 1980s.
He then crossed over to Radio 4 in 1986, where he presented You & Yours, many documentaries, and Face the Facts, where he can still be heard today.聽
In John's own words -聽
BEST MOMENT IN CAREER: Presenting a special programme for my cousin Terry Waite, which he did manage to hear in his Beirut hostage cell.聽
WORST MOMENT IN CAREER: Being so keen to get my microphone close to Prince Charles I stood heavily on his toe.
