BBC RADIO 4 - BROADCASTING HOUSE

 (L-R) Tony Blackburn, me, Christina Lamb

Radio 4 presenter Paddy O'Connell and me

Really enjoyed my time on BBC Radio 4's 'Broadcasting House' programme on Sunday morning.  

I was on with the radio DJ legend Tony Blackburn and Christina Lamb, author and Foreign Correspondent for The Sunday Times, along with our host Paddy O'Connell.  

We had a great time trawling through the papers for the stories that grabbed our attention.  In the mix were the current hot topic about the UK being a 'post Christian nation', the tragic helicopter accident in Afghanistan, the threat to mangos(!) by a certain type of white fly which means imports to the UK may be stopped, and the film remake of Dad's Army!  Quite a mix which ensured a lively debate!

Hope you got to hear it.  If not, click here for the link to the recording and just scroll through to 43:54 for the relevant section. 


Follow Patrick on his Website, on Facebook and on Twitter.

Patrick will be LIVE in concert on 9th June 2014 at St John's Smith Square.  Click here to book your tickets.

Classic FM - LIVE web chat



Earlier this week I was Classic FM's guest on their Wednesday Web Chat, where I was available to take questions from presenter Tim Lihoreau and the Classic FM audience about me and my work.  If you missed it you can still see the conversation thread here.
