I'm still in love, still learning and still locked into this wonderful and weird life of radio that I've managed to blag for so long... how else can I celebrate 10 years in radio? By being in a studio, in front of a mic, talking about radio. There is no place I'd rather be. It's time to give back; 10 episodes - 10 things I love about radio and 10 of radio's biggest stars joining me every week! Hope you enjoy...

Ep 10: 'Getting into Radio' with Neil Sloan and Chris North
The grand finale of this podcast series finishes with a conversation about 'Getting into radio' with two programming experts responsible for some of the biggest names in the industry today, Neil Sloan and Chris North. We explore the avenues you can take, demo do's and don't's, how to 'play' the industry game, is London the best place to be right now and although there is no definitive answer on how to make it in the radio world, this episode serves up some very good advice!

Ep 9: 'Music on the Radio' with Mark Franklin and Neil Greenslade
A fun, interesting and honest nose inside the life of music controllers and schedulers in the radio industry from two, long serving, radio professionals and music programmers, Neil Greenslade and Mark Franklin. Listening to Adele’s album before anyone else, receiving gold discs from Ed Sheeran and the moments they’d like to forget including a massive on-air music blunder during the breaking news when Princess Diana died. We get to the nitty, gritty of what it is like to be head of music on radio today.

Ep 8: 'Women in Radio' with Stephanie Hirst and Vicki Blight
Firstly, MEN are welcome, secondly, this is not a big feminist moan or outcry. This is an inspiring, stripped back, no-holds-barred conversation about 'women in radio' with two of my favourite female counterparts in the industry. We dip into Steph's transition from her sucessful broadcasting career on Capital Yorkshire as Simon and what the differences are after having the 'incredible priviledge' of being able to broadcast as a man and now as her true-self, Stephanie. What. A. Hero. Enjoy x

Ep 7: 'American Radio' with Brian Fink, Rose from the Kane Show and Tony Dibbin
A dip into the American radio industry which I adore so much from two different perspectives. An insight from 'Gold Radio' breakfast presenter, Tony Dibbin, on his yearly jaunts across the pond on 'The Dave & Jimmy show' and also my chat from the Tampa Bay studio's of '933 FLZ' with Brian Fink and Rose from 'The Kane Show'. Beware UK radio people, for what you are about to hear, may blow your mind... especially the bit about pausing the adverts?!? Enjoy...

Ep 5: 'Live OB's on the Radio' with Sarah Champion and Pete Donaldson
When you take a radio show outside of the studio, it can be one huge operation! This week, I’m joined by my two radio best buddies and seasoned pro’s when it comes to broadcasting outside the usual studio comforts - from Absolute Radio, Sarah Champion and Pete Donaldson. Hear about why a live outside broadcast can be the setting of such beautiful on-air moments (maybe not when Pete fell into human waste on the job) but from the disasters to the triumphs. We cover everything you need to know about LIVE OB’ing, including the very important dump button! Enjoy & soak up all the insight and advice on this very funny episode.

10 things I love about you my decade in radio
If the next seven episodes are anything like the first 3, there is no doubt that people will be listening to this podcast series for decades to come.
To the novice anorak this is a dream come true as Polly explores the genres of British radio complete with outstanding guests like Pat Sharp and Steve Allen. Even if you’re not an anorak Polly’s trip through British radio is well worth the ride.
Why?
It is a concern that there exists narcissism so grotesquely high that a decade in a job earns some special award or advertise yourself.
Back when people in the media were of great talent I can see this having a place not to mention the content being of suitable standard.
This is celeb culture and social media generation with all its ugly side effects mixed together.
