Tony Stratton and Jeremy Suffolk of BHR 87.7. S2 E2. (podcast)

The tables were truly turned today as I have been twice interviewed by Tony Stratton on Basildon Hospital Radio, once on his own programme and the other he does with Jeremy Suffolk, all to do with my local history books.

They've certainly been talking to some top celebrities on their show, two members of Slade, Annette Andre, Miriam Margoyles, who of course is often on our screens today with her cheeky humour.  Also, Britt Eckland, Jess Conrad and Michelle Monroe, daughter of Matt Monroe, to name a few.

BHR 87.7 (Basildon Hospital Radio), which was made an FM radio station in the first lockdown, has been voted the second most  listened to hospital radio in the country.

This book was written by the Basildon Writers' and Jacqui James, the chair of Basildon Hospital Radio.  All proceeds go to Basildon Hospital Radio - It happened in Essex:Tall tales from the Basildon Writers'  I hasten to add I bought it and it was a really good read!
