  • S04 E09 - Lee Thompson (Part 2)
    Feb 19 2025

    This is part 2 of Foxy's chat with former presenter, producer, music guru, TV bloke and pop-quiz-question-setter.

    The first part is available now, but if you're up to date, prepare to hear about how he was probably responsible for popularising some of the most annoying songs of the early 00s; how TV wasn't for him; and how he came to be part of the most listened to feature on UK radio every day.

  • S04 E08 - Lee Thompson (Part 1)
    Feb 17 2025

    People often ask how we choose our guests. The answer is quite simple. People who've had varied and interesting careers and have a good story to tell. And it always helps if we know them.

    So getting this episode's guest on was a no-brainer.

    Lee Thompson has been a presenter, producer, author, head of music, TV guy... and is now part of the most listened to feature on UK radio.

    He tells a bloody good story, and he has plenty of them from working at Metro, Viking, Radio 2, Box TV and more.

    In this, the first of two parts, he chats to Foxy about how he heard the "phenomenal" demo of a 16 year old, future radio star; chatting with one of the 90s most iconic stars; and getting sacked from a radio station in Wales for doing something truly mad!

    Look out for part two, coming very soon.

    This is part two of Foxy's chat with the brilliant Allan Lake.

    Part one is available now, if you want to hear his origin story.

    In this episode he chats about how a cow nearly got his employers evicted from their studios; losing his "dream job"; and how the tragic death of a good friend and colleague affected him.
