Below you'll find a two-part interview about Fun At One with my good pal Ben Baker (check out his personal site here), covering how I got the idea for the book and how I researched and wrote it. Along the way we cover such subjects as the best and worst Radio 1 comedy shows (and the worst is really, really bad), the effect of first hearing The Mary Whitehouse Experience and Blue Jam, why Adrian Juste was better than people think, the late-night brilliance of The Graveyard Shift, and how Chris Morris once caused me to miss out on a date. Enjoy!
Fun At One, the story of comedy at BBC Radio 1, is available as a paperback here or as an eBook here.
