Braithwaite's Country Sundays 7pm - 9pm
Many
people in local radio start their career in Hospital
Radio. Paul went one step further. There wasn't a hospital
radio service in Carlisle at the time (1972) so he started
one. After this he pestered the BBC until they gave
up and gave him some work.
Paul's
40th birthday party was broadcast live from Kendal in
the form of a country music show, which shows his passion
for the "country style". He describes one
of his favourite broadcasting moments as having to describe
the arrival of the two stripagrams to the event.
"I couldn't see much, as my glasses were all steamed
up."
What
would the reader be surprised to find out about you?
"Several things I suppose."
I
nearly became a vicar!
I'm
incredibly good looking.
I
collect anything to do with cycling.
I
once did my programme minus my trousers after falling
in a river."
When
you're not broadcasting how do you relax?
"I practice the bass guitar and harmonica, write
songs with my wife Glenys, read cycling books and ride
the bike."
