Many people in local radio start their career in Hospital Radio. Paul went one step further. There wasn't a hospital radio service in Carlisle at the time (1972) so he started one. After this he pestered the BBC until they gave up and gave him some work.
Paul's 40th birthday party was broadcast live from Kendal in the form of a country music show, which shows his passion for the "country style". He describes one of his favourite broadcasting moments as having to describe the arrival of the two stripagrams to the event. "I couldn't see much, as my glasses were all steamed up."
What would the reader be surprised to find out about you? "Several things I suppose."
I nearly became a vicar!
I'm incredibly good looking.
I collect anything to do with cycling.
I once did my programme minus my trousers after falling in a river."
