No RadioTalk this week because the Producers Special from last week is still receiving heaps of interest, so we’re going to leave it up there for a bit longer. However, we do have a brand new version of Radio Moments from the legend that is David Lloyd. It’s another cracker this week, so do give it a listen. Enjoy!

RadioTalk this week looks at the role of the Producer in music radio with two of the best. Helen Thomas is the multi-award winning Executive Producer of The Chris Evans Breakfast Show. Richard Steel, the Executive Producer of Dave and Lisa at Capital FM, is also at the top of his game but works within a commercial radio framework.

Hear how they go about their daily life, run their teams, think about their shows and how preparation is everything. Most of all, they tell us why being a radio producer is the best job in the world and what you need to do if you want to get their job someday.

Plus, we have another wonderful instalment of David Lloyd’s Radio Moments. It’s a not to miss episode this week with audio that John hoped had long been lost!

Recorded at Maple Street Studios in London and produced by Jordan Thomas with imaging from On The Sly.
