I have worked as a journalist on national newspapers and the Radio Times since 1986, writing film, television and radio reviews.

In 2002 I was delighted to be appointed as the radio editor at Radio Times, the only weekly title to cover radio programmes in intricate detail. It really is the best job in the world, getting paid to listen to the radio.

I love my job, and to judge at the Sonys is just especially delicious icing on the radio cake!
