Host John Fox chats to some of the great and the good (and the available) who made their name sitting in a padded room talking to themselves. Expect incredible stories, brutal honesty, juicy revelations, big old laughs and even the odd tear. Support Crunch & Roll on Ko-Fi - https://ko-fi.com/crunchandroll

Feb 12, 2025 48m

This is part two of Foxy's chat with the brilliant Allan Lake. Part one is available now, if you want to hear his origin story. In this episode he chats about how a cow nearly got his employers…

S4E6 S04 E06 - Allan Lake (Part 1)

Feb 10, 2025 50m

As Oscar Wild almost once said, "To lose one job may be regarded as a misfortune, to lose several looks like carelessness." John Fox's guest on this episode admits to getting sacked a lot. He also…

S4E4 S04 E05 - Sally Bailey

Feb 03, 2025 1h 1m

We've heard lots of reasons why people get into radio on this podcast. Often it stems from a childhood obsession, starting with good old Bedroom FM, then maybe doing mobile discos, hospital radio and…

S3E24 S03 E24 - Paul 'Griffo' Griffiths

Jul 01, 2024 1h 11m

Hey man! It's Griffo! For those of you not familiar with Griffo's work, he's a legend of the airwaves in North Wales and Yorkshire. He's tighter than a gnat's chuff and has a voice that Morgan…

S3E23 S03 E23 - Paul Hayes

Jun 24, 2024 1h 10m

We all have those moments in our lives where we look back and think, why did I do that. In radio terms, Paul Hayes 'why did I do that' moment was HUGE. Let's just say it involved a Richard Park,…

S3E22 S03 E22 - Mark Collins

Jun 10, 2024 1h 18m

Us radio folk wear the term anorak as a badge of honour. But no matter how big a radio geek you think you are, you're really not, because John Foster is the Anorak in Chief. As Foxy chats to him, he…

Jun 03, 2024 1h 29m

S3E19 S03 E19 - Clive Dickens

May 26, 2024 1h 1m

For the two of you who don't know, Clive was one of the big guns in UK radio management. The King of Capital. The Duke of Jack. The Archbishop of Absolute. But then he went to Australia, and took a…
