I’ve met very few legends, but here’s one I did meet. Richard Sherman, whose music writing credits - together with his late brother Robert - include Mary Poppins, Jungle Book and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. An alumnus of Beverly Hills High where I was in 2015. A lovely man. RIP.

An honour to have been working with the The Radio Academy & last night to have been invited to the News UK building for the nominations. Congratulations to those shortlisted. So many friends&colleagues - brilliant to see Times Radio David Friend & BBC Radio 5 Live Edward Adoo.

Brilliant to have the opportunity to meet/interview Stephanie Hirst from Hits Radio Mylo & Rosie Show from Pulse, Helena Merriman Room 5 podcast, Zak & Jules from Life After Prison Adam Stoner from Fun Kids Radio for the The Radio Academy fest 23. Radio is alive&very well. Audio out soon.

Am so sorry to hear of the death of Jamie Crick. A knowledgeable, brilliant broadcaster, & a lovely person. I was fortunate to work with him on a daily show&I remember both his sheer professionalism on air and us laughing so hard that my insides hurt. Condolences to his family.

Just been alerted that my brilliant ex-boss Roger Mosey is on Iain Dale tonight on LBC. I spent a few very happy years working for the guru of radio and tv news. Great to hear your voice again Roger.

What a treat to read about..not one..but these two lovely people in Radio Times Angie Greaves and Debbie Wiseman are true virtuosos (virtuosi?) and great representatives of their professions but have also been brilliant friends and advocates. Read all about it.

Line of the day Eamonn Kelly - Hot Chocolate, It Started With A Kiss. Right now? I’d settle for a handshake 👍 👍

If you missed Clive Myrie’s report on #bbcnews at the top of the Six tonight, I would thoroughly recommend it. Moving and disturbing but remarkable and hopeful to see the Covid ward of The Royal London, Whitechapel and the care they offer. It’s part of a series of reports.

🎉🎉 HERE IT IS 🎉🎉 So excited and proud to share with you the cover of my upcoming book Stolen Lives.
