S02 E10 - Chris Brooks

We're always interested to hear how our guests get the radio 'bug', but it's fair to say if you gave us a million guesses as to Chris Brooks' story, we wouldn't have got it. WOW. This episode is the inspiring story of Chris' single-minded determination to achieve his dream of saying "ninety-five point eight" on the radio. Along with obvious talent and resolve, there was some pretty amazing bits of luck on the way too, along with a heart-warming chat with *checks notes* Parky(?!) Also hear how he first blagged his way on air, much to his bosses displeasure; a scary story from a stag-do in Vegas; and how he had a member of a boy-band review video games on his show. And listen right to the end for a bonus George Michael story. Contains strong language and adult content.   As well as being the big cheese at Radio Essex, he also presents The Big Drive Home: https://www.radioessex.com/bigdrivehome/ He also presents The UK Hot 40 Countdown on loads of stations around the world: https://www.theukhot40.com/ AND, somehow finds the time to present the excellent A-Z of Men Podcast: https://podfollow.com/1589076478/view Chris is on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisBrooksDJ And on the 'Gram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisbrooksdj/
