I'm in Weimar where there are traces of the people I wrote about everywhere. This was Hedwig Hetemann's shop where she repaired toys for children. It was destroyed by the SA in the pogrom of 1938 because she was Jewish. Nobody helped her. She became withdrawn and isolated. 1/2

Hi @vgeller looking forward to meeting you too, loving your talk about Never Being Boring (amongst all the other great stuff) on your highly informative website as I write #radio #communityradio gellermedia.com

@airchecks @thisisheart Amazing how they give out my home address. Wouldn't do that now.

@thisisheart Hey @JonathanRuffle is that you getting a mention at 1'53?

Yep, as I say in the book, Johnny was inevitably the irritable headmaster to some of our more stupid pranks, but behind the scenes he was defending Radio 1 from all sorts of attacks from inside and outside the BBC. If you like 80s and 90s music, you owe it to him.

@JonathanRuffle Also listening to that nice old man Beerling play big band on Serenade Radio, I can’t believe he’s the same bloke!

Thanks, I was very keen the book showed how hard he worked

@JonathanRuffle Hi, just finished your Steve Wright book. Excellent. I was a big Radio 1 fan in the 80s. I never realised before why SWITA sounded so much better than every other show, so much prep went into it. The Warren There was just so much work involved.
English
Personally I would have had that down as priceless

@JonathanRuffle Jonathan, have you seen this on eBay?

@JonathanRuffle I am enjoying the audio version of the book i can listen when i want.
English
Cliff you have no idea how grateful I am that someone is listening to the audiobook. I was amazed at how often I fluffed and how many odd noises my body was determined to make. And no, the irony that a lot of the book was about editing stuff to make it shine wasn't lost on me

@DuncanNewmarch @JonathanRuffle I am cheating and listening to it on audio book.

Thanks so much Duncan, I really appreciate that.

I’ve finally finished reading @JonathanRuffle ‘s excellent book about Steve Wright during the late 80s/early 90s. It made me laugh, gave me more reasons to love Steve and feel sad that’s he not doing a bank holiday special today. …hello?

@MarkHaylet1950 Thanks Mark, it was the behind-the-scenes graft I was hoping to show. And I got so lucky with all the people who worked on Bomber.
English
@JonathanRuffle I was not a fan of the show (probably just wrong age group TBH) but I found the book a fascinating insight into show prep and team presentation. As a big radio drama fan I was delighted to discover you were responsible for the superb Bomber - sowed off radio story telling so well

@JonathanRuffle That’s really beautiful to hear, and it truly shows! Your persistence and heart really come through in your work. I’d love to hear more about your book and the journey behind it. I don’t want to clutter the comments, so I’ll follow you if that’s okay, would that be alright?
English
Thanks Linda - I like it too! First I looked at the covers of similar books to mine, then mocked one up on Canva, and then asked a professional to complete the job. Unfortunately he’s been so successful he’s moved onto bigger things but his design sensibility really improved it

@JonathanRuffle Wow, your book cover is amazing! It really makes me curious about the story. I can tell a lot of thought went into this, such impressive work!
English
@lindaburson7487 Impossible to answer I’m afraid - on and off over two years interwoven with other writing
English
@JonathanRuffle That’s really impressive, great work. I’m curious, how long did it take you to write the book?
English
It's finally out there, the audiobook. Many thanks for production advice from maestros Peter Dickson and Jon Briggs. Available on Amazon, Audible and iTunes

@TheCinesthetic There’s a great cut in a Bond movie, Diamonds Are Forever. We see a model of an oil well on a map of Baja California. As a character asks what is its significance we cut to a lovely wide shot of the real oil well in the bluest ocean

For me the SWITA track is Breakout by Swing Out Sister, suddenly I’m back on the roadshow stage with Steve
