A whole load of synchronistic events led to my radio show. I was driving home one day when out of the blue I felt the urge to do some broadcasting for the first time in my life. I'd just finished reading Wayne Dyer’s "Inspiration, The Ultimate Calling" where he explained when we feel inspired to do something, that is our Higher Self calling us to fulfill our heart’s desire. I knew I had to do something NOW!

Two days later I was in Lampeter and picked up a brochure advertising Radio Wales who were going to be in town for about a month. One of the events was a workshop for people interested in broadcasting for the first time. I made enquiries immediately and there was one place left! They asked me to put a few ideas together to make a 6 or 7 minute recording. I made the CD "SINGchronicity to die for". Amazing Grace, the backing music is from my album ‘On My Own’.

Around that time I was looking at a local website and saw an mail link from Tommo, one of Radio Ceredigion’s DJs. I asked him how to go about getting a foot in the broadcasting door. "Did I have a CD of my speaking voice?" he emailed. I’d just made one! Then driving to work I pressed the wrong button on the radio and heard "Radio Ceredigion in The Old School House...." this was right opposite where I was working so I called in.

I was offered a 12 week slot for 1 hour a week combining chat about some of my stories on the road as a musician, with music and a guest with some link to the music business. It’s been a really exciting period in my life, absolutely terrifying working in an unknown area not being able to see any of my audience. But this small taster has without doubt given me the incentive to do more. I’d love you to tune in either with your own input or simply to listen to the show.

Tune in locally on FM 96.6 97.4 or 103.3 - every Sunday night at 8pm

With the continued theme of having the courage to follow our dreams, I’ve added a second slot towards the end of the hour where I’ll be inviting someone on for 5 minutes to talk about their career which they love. These audio clips are of my first guests in the new slot in my radio show.
Margaret Short (mp3 version - 6mins),
Stella Hooper (mp3 version - 8mins 48secs)

If you’re interested in taking part or know anyone else who may be, please email me or Radio Ceredigion. Here’s the kind of person I'm looking for:-

Do you now have a job you’d always dreamt about doing but never thought you'd be able to do? Are you in a career you fell into completely by accident but now love? Or do you simply want to share what you're dream job is, and have no idea how and where to start?

Whatever part of the world you’re reading this from, you’re only a phone call away so let’s chat!
