I first undertook training in radio interviews in 2008, spread my wings on podcasts, specialist and regional radio shows, which I continue to offer expert comment on. High profile shows include being a ‘Big Guest’ on Steve Wright in the Afternoon (BBC Radio 2) in 2014, and talking about social media and faith for Beyond Belief on Radio 4 in 2016.
