Last Saturday (21st August) I made my radio debut being interviewed about Newcastle United for Radio Fremantle’s The World Football Programme. The show is hosted by Penny TannerHoath & Jason Washington-King and lasts for 3 hours every Saturday morning.
This weeks show had some rather illustrious guests from the world of Australian football that included Foxsports football commentator Andy Harper, former Socceroo Stan Lazaridis, SBS journalist Vitor Sobral, Aurelio Vidmar the current coach at the SA Institute of Sport, and Perth Glory FC owner Tony Sage.
After seeking some advice on twitter from North East journalists Simon Bird and George Caulkin (thanks lads) I felt I was ready to dip my toe in the world of commercial radio.
To be honest I thought it went well, despite some nerves, I surprised myself with how easy I found it. The highlight for me was giving Andy Carroll a big wrap as our most important player for the season. Who would have thought just over 24 hours later he would have scored a hattrick in a 6-0 win!
Anyway to listen to the interview yourself download it here and then fast forward to 8 minutes and 40 seconds.
