Foxy's guest this episode is a former Whatnotter. You know, from the Saturday Whatnot on Essex Radio... No?

If that's not ringing any bells, maybe you know him from his mere 26 years at Key 103 / Hits Radio. YES! That Mike Toolan!

Of course he's one of the biggest names in the business and who's been on Radio Aire, BRMB and Capital, as well as an actual GENERATION on 103FM in Manchester, so won't need too much of an introduction.

We'll just whet your appetite with some of the contents of our hour with him:

  • Find out who he pretended to be to get on air in the USA.
  • What word did he get someone to say that got him sacked from hospital radio.
  • How he drove a colleague to turn up to his show armed with an actual gun!
  • Who got the Radio 1 gig when he was down to the final two candidates.
  • How he felt when he was replaced on breakfast with a former guest. And how he felt when he was reinstated.

If that hasn't got your juices flowing, you're listening to the wrong podcast.
