Not Wireless Radio, 1st Show

Now Broadcasting on University Radio
Sad news.

Spoken Word
Very recently, as those of you may have noticed on my Twitter feed, a lot of my time has been spent down at my local pub. Work obligations, work experience, lectures, seminars and essays are still being achieved. Just that any time I regard as spare is spent around the corner in a pub called St Paul’s Tavern.
The pub until a few months ago was notoriously regarded as one of the rougher pubs in Cheltenham....
