If there's one thing you remember is the family birthdays. They just get a bit upset if they dont get cards from their family.

Shame on you aled not giving your little sister a card! :P :)

I hated school. Don't recall enjoying any of the subjects. I used to spend all my time at the local radio station instead

How often do you get recognized Aled? Couple of times a day maybe? I take it it depends on if you have a quiet day or were to go shopping in central london or something.

And of all the times you get recognised, how often is it a bit annoying, compared to being nice and pleasent? I won't hold anything against you if you say it's annoying 90 odd percent of time!

Is that how you got where you are? I'm about to start work at a Hospital Radio station and wonder if you have any tips?

Did you get just a radio production degree or something to fall back on?

What are the best subjects to do at A Level for Radio production?

Sorry to get all personal :oops:

I almost went to work at Chris Brooks (now at Capital) hospital radio station "City Radio" in St Albans but stayed on at college instead to do A Levels.

Qualifications are handy, but generally working for hospital radio is a great way to build up your skills and knowledge of the business.

Most importantly, getting your big break will be aided to some extent by 'who you know'. Doing some free work for local commercial stations is a great way to get your face known by your the key players in local radio for your area.

Above all, show enthusiasm and commitment but try not coming across as conceited or a complete amateur radio geek.

failing that, if they don't let you start now, get your research done in the meantime so ya know more than the average rookie.
