Iain Dale’s All Talk podcast has welcomed Richard Park to talk about radio and his career for 80 minutes.
Richard opens by sharing his love for broadcasting, saying radio is his passion.
“I love presenting, but managing stations meant even more to me than my own performance,” he said when talking about his early presenting days.
Everything is covered from working on pirate station Radio Scotland and Radio Clyde, through to running Capital, Fame Academy, joining Global and discussing the difficulties on getting into radio these days.
Iain tells RadioToday: “Richard is an iconic figure in UK radio and it was an absolute pleasure to sit down with him to talk about his life and career. We cover a lot of ground and he is characteristically forthright, as you would expect.
“From getting into radio in the pirate days to being part of the team that created Global, anyone interested in the history of commercial radio since 1973 needs to listen to this.”
