Bag To The Future
I think I’ve come up with a great business idea. If you’re an entrepreneur, you should steal this. We’re moving to a smaller flat soon, so we’re trying to get rid of as much stuff as we can. Everything has to pass the, “Do we REALLY need this?” test. So far we’ve sold my Dr […]

Carmageddon
Filthy fossil fuel burning cars are here to stay, unfortunately. Electric vehicles should be the future of transport. Vehicles that burn fossil fuels are putting toxic chemicals into the atmosphere. Electric vehicles will not catch on in Britain unless there’s a big change. Unfortunately there is no sign of that change any time soon. The […]

Giving Amazon Some Stick
Amazon are making a big mistake. I saw Jeremy Clarkson on the telly the other day advertising the Amazon Fire Stick. It’s a device you plug into your TV and is one of the ways you’ll be able to watch Clarkson, May and Hammond’s new show, The Grand Tour. Amazon are paying the former Top […]

Messing with the competition is always fun when you work in commercial radio, especially if you can distort reality. In 2005, I was the Program Director at 2CRFM on England’s South Coast.

I got a big reaction a couple of days ago to a blog I posted called, “Radio needs a Steve Jobs”. I pointed out that commercial radio is being run by sales and marketing people and their focus is not on delivering great content. In an interview recorded in 1995, Steve Jobs said that sales […]
