The Sliding Doors podcast, hosted by Jennie Becker, is celebrating 100 episodes today with Tony Blackburn as a special guest.
Tony delves into his three Sliding Doors moments in this interview about his life on radio, being crowned the first king of the jungle and his favourite memories from his life and career over the past 60 years.
The 100th episode series also includes guests such as Dame Zandra Rhodes, Shirley Ballas, Paul Sculfor and Jimmy Tarbuck.
Jennie told PodcastingToday.co.uk: “Sliding Doors is based on my love of the 90s classic film. Each episode will delve into your sliding doors moments and decisions, which changed the course of your life (personal or professional).
“I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the last 100 episodes that I’ve recorded and to record someone very special, and that is the broadcasting legend Tony Blackburn.
“My family and I have listened to him for so many years that he’s a part of our radio life and podcasting is an evolution of broadcasting and for me it’s lovely to have him on.
“It’s his 60th anniversary in broadcasting this year and it was great to hear about his life. He doesn’t do that many in-depth interviews and it was great to hear about how his journey has evolved with all the different things he’s done.
“He’s in a great era of his life – he’s has had a lot of ups and downs but is still smashing it on the radio, touring the country and is a great inspiration for people. I wanted to make something special of the 100th episode and I think Tony is the perfect person for that.”
