Find out more about the show...

1. How did you get into radio?

No small amount of luck, and very little talent. Put it this way, the person most responsible has now fled to Brazil to avoid extradition and punishment.

2. What was your first broadcast?

Sports bulletin – including giving out the name of a horse I thought had won the 3.30 at Chepstow, in fact it's still running!

3. What other jobs have you done besides broadcasting?

I’ve worked in the china department at Harrods, and if that wasn’t boring enough I’m also a fully qualified financial advisor.

4. What would you like to be if you weren’t a radio presenter?

Leading goal scorer in the Premiership, and if it wasn’t for my distinct lack of talent, fitness and those pesky kids, I might have made it.

5. What would listeners be surprised to learn about you?

My mum thinks that I’m a doctor.

6. Which person would you most enjoy being stuck in a lift with?

"I'm so proud... He's a Doctor you know"

Joel's Mum

An Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman... Something funny is bound to happen.

7. If you won the lottery, what would you do with the money?

I’d iron it and then put the notes in numerical order… Stupid question, I'd spend it.

8. What is your worst habit?

Schadenfreude.

9. Tell us about your 1st:

Car: White Renault Cleo by the name of Lucy – She’s only just died.
Job: On my dad’s market stall.
Kiss: Karen Conway from Cockfosters.
Record/CD: Fine Young Cannibals.

10.What is your favourite?

Food: Anything my sister’s made or Mum's Chicken soup
Sandwich: The 3rd Earl of...
Place in Oxfordshire: King Sized Bagpuss.
Item of clothing: My Barnet scarf.
Song: Country Feedback – R.E.M.
Singer: Stevie Wonder.
Film: Goodfellas.
TV Show: Seinfeld/ Simpsons / Curb Your Enthusiasm/ Flight of the Concords. Now, that was a better question.

Tell me what you think....
