S03 E07 - Darren Daley

12/18/23 • 79 min

This episodes finds you just before Christmas 2023. Tis the season of good will to all men... except one former boss who features in this episode! But be assured the rest of Foxy's chat with Darren Daley is a real Christmas cracker.

He's been in the game since Cliff Richard was number 1 in the charts with Saviours' Day, so has plenty of stories to tell.

Luckily for us he's kept all his correspondence from radio stations from the last 35+ years, and reads out some of the more noteworthy examples. Fair to say he wasn't on former Radio 1 controller Johnny Beerling's Christmas card list.

There's chat about how Radio City legend Phil Eason gave him his first break one memorable Boxing Day.

And the tale of a naked Australian producer ruining the news on a unfortunately serious news day.

There's strong language and adult content in this episode.

S03 E06 - Paul Carrington

Foxy calls him The Professor. You might know him as The Funster. But his passport says Paul Carrington.

Paul has to be one of the most well known presenters in the north of England and is guaranteed to have worked on a station near you, if you live north of Sutton-cum-Duckmanton. Piccadilly, Signal, Viking, Buzz, Minster, Pulse - We'll let Paul tell you the rest.

There's stories about working for Timmy Mallett (along with Professor Brain Cox, Chris Evans and Nick Robinson); how he helped the biggest pop group of the 80s escape a hoard of screaming fans (involves an old Ford Escort); and how he's embarrassed about being The Funster.

It's a long one (so we'll keep this bit short), but absolutely worth sticking with to the end. Enjoy!

S03 E08 - Tim Lichfield

Hold on to your headphones, Tiger Tim's roaring onto Crunch & Roll, and he's grrrrrrrrrreat! (Sorry).

Early on in his chat with Foxy he tells us that it is "no holes barred"...

He's happy to to go through the many highs and some notable lows of his career, spanning Capital and BRMB to TFM and Minster, and plenty more besides.

We've cover how he was once told he couldn't say his own name right by one manager, the magic of warming up for Chris Tarrant every morning, and turning down a big gig for the sake of his health and sanity.
