The goal for me has always been to learn how to express myself in radio and to have fun doing it and work with whatever contingencies arise.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It took, for me, a long time to develop this idea of what to do on the radio. But from the beginning of my time in radio, I had pretty non-traditional tasks.
When you're doing a radio show, you can express yourself.
If I could be lucky enough to just have radio as the base for the rest of my life, I could build off that. No matter how successful I become, I always look at radio as the only skill set I can really call on. I even know how to operate the boards.
I think creative people need to do a bit of, you know, tuning into every radio station - you just do, otherwise you don't know much about other people. You kind of have to learn a bit about yourself so you can work out how we all behave and why we do the things we do.
I love radio, and I haven't done it - other than the actual 'Doctor Who' - for so long now. It takes a different kind of discipline and a different kind of enjoyment, really.
I like doing radio because it's so intimate. The moment people hear your voice, you're inside there heads, not only that, you're in there laying eggs.
I've always been fascinated with radio and broadcasting. I did fake radio shows as a kid, where I was a DJ and stuff like that.
The benefit of the radio is, something beyond your realm of knowledge can surprise you, can enter your realm of knowledge.
I started in radio, again accidentally. I wasn't looking for this kind of work at all.
In the 30 years of my career, I have explored all possible mediums, except radio.
