30 years ago today, British radio got a wake-up call. On 24 April 1995, The Chris Evans Breakfast Show launched on BBC Radio 1 - and changed everything. It was loud, unpredictable, funny, chaotic and completely fresh. 1/4

Fun legal and compliance session with @simoradio this morning / afternoon. Always something to learn #radio #development #learning

So sad to hear the news about Andy Peebles passing. I’ll miss our long conversations about football and soul music, of which he was far more knowledgeable. There’s going to be a Quiet Storm in heaven tonight. RIP Andy

Today marks 30 yrs since I entered a radio studio to present a show for the first time. I was as nervous before today’s show as I was back then. Radio has changed massively but we can’t turn back the clock or halt technological change. Live for today and be gracious for the past.

@NickyHorne We watched the whole series during Covid. A lot of the storylines still stand up. The only thing that dates it are the mobile phones. Absolutely brilliant writing and incredible acting. We need President Bartlett today!
