S03 E02 - Alex Lester

from Crunch & Roll · host 969media Ltd

As nicknames go, The Dark Lord is right up there. But it could have been so different for our guest if a former boss had got his way and convinced him to go with Red. Alex Lester is truly deserving of the description 'legend'. Three decades at Radio 2 for goodness sake! He's got some stories from those times, mainly involving Sir Terry, as well as delving into the beginning of his career and the disastrous launch of a station he was involved with. But the tale of his fan mail nearly made us soil ourselves. Be warned! There's very strong language and adult content in this episode.
