New talent
Post categories: 5 live Now
|17:35 UK time, Friday, 26 March 2010
Aaron Eccles is a 5 live producer - he's worked on various 5 live programmes (most recently Up All Night) and he's joined the 5 live interactive team as editor of 5 live Now - the new way of joining the discussion around 5 live programmes.
You're going to see his name at the top of blog posts around here quite often from now on - he's going to help me make the blog more topical, updating it more often and bringing more behind-the-scenes stories from around the network. We've got a healthy list of blog posts planned - including the follow-up Q&A with Controller Adrian Van Klaveren I've been promising.
You'll start to see posts from Aaron here on the blog next week.
Steve Bowbrick is editor of the 5 live blog

Be fair; this isn't a post to introduce us to Livesey!
