TV, RADIO AND THE INTERNET
My work with radio goes back to my undergraduate days in the early Eighties. That with television dates from the early Nineties onwards (apart from a fleeting ‘run on’ part as a toddler in the Sixties) and my internet appearances date from 2010 onwards.
My direct contact with television and radio has been almost exclusively in Wales.
