I joined HRC in January 2012. It all looked rather daunting – all these lights, switches, levers, screens and microphones. But with good tuition from colleagues, it was only three months before I was able to take control of my own show – Magical Musicals. I like to think I might be a poor man’s Elaine Paige who broadcasts a wonderful programme on Radio 2 on Sunday afternoons which is also all about songs from the shows. I recently celebrated my 700th edition and look forward to the next 700! Some four years on from doing my Musicals show, I was also asked to prepare the Spiritual Sunday programme, which is designed to be a compensation for anyone not being able to get to church on a Sunday morning. We have a couple of hymns, a couple of bible readings, a thought for the day and a prayer for the day as well as looking at the life of someone who has recently passed away and someone who is celebrating a birthday. All of that is sprinkled with some wonderful music, both traditional and pop. I get a great deal of joy from both of these shows and my hope is that patients and other listeners will get the same.
