After six months hosting their main talk show, I've left i105-107. We had some great times together but ultimately we were just too different. It just wasn't meant to be. So the time has come for us to hear other people.
But we'll always have the memories - the conversations with the World Pillow Fight champion (Carmen Monoxide), the April Fools jokes played on politicians and the Weird and Wacky Stories ("Man with 14 Birds stuffed Down his Trousers" and other favourites). Probably my most enduring memory was speaking to the Ku Klux Klan the night America elected its first mixed race President - Barack Obama. I asked the Klan if having a Palestinian Jewish mother and a Divine Father meant that Jesus was also mixed race. I'll post an MP3 of their response soon.
For now, I'll be taking some time off. I literally went from performing two one-man shows at Edinburgh, into writing a 20,000 word Masters Thesis on Political Comedy, into six months on radio, 3 hours a day, five days a week. So really need a holiday. But I have several ideas for my next project, so watch this space.
