Ok that is enough about you. Now answer some questions.

What is your favourite colour?
Blue. Its cool. Can relate to a feel good factor and reminds me of everything associated with relaxation.  Blue sky at night shephards' delight.

What style of music do you listen to when you are at home?
Like a lot of different types from different decades and genres. Especially like a lot of 80s, but 70s too and I’m a BEE GEE fan, but don’t get the wrong idea, im not that old.

What is your favourite TV show?
Scif Nut. I’m a Whovian. Ill translate that into English, a DR WHO fanatic. Like Star Trek Star Wars, Blakes 7. I’d love to Time Travel.

What makes the art of radio so special?
Radio is special because you can be so creative with it. The vocals are the tools that give the listener the missing piece in the jigsaw. Our speech  provides the listener a piece so he can imagine the visuals. It can reach out to so many millions of people and it can be interacted with in so many different ways, online, through phone ins, good old FM.

Which person from history do you admire the most and why?
I like Lech Walesa, Courage and fought for Solidarity / Churchill – Great Wartime Leader

Who do people say you look like?
Russell Crowe – I kind of like the Gladiator look.

What is your biggest dislike in life?
Waiting forever for London Transport............yeah you got it those signal failures, stuck on the tube in the tunnel and in pitch blacknnnneeesss. Come on Boris/Ken get your acts together.

If you found a wallet on the street with a name and address, would you present it the nearest Police Station, and why?

Depends on the circumstances. If I can get hold of that person first, then I would, otherwise I would go to the police......feel its best placed in their hands.

Anything else you would like to share with the listeners?

Radio has been a passion since my college days having completed a GNVQ Advanced in media and communication and a BA HONs in Film and History. The buzz for Radio came in 2005 after picking up the bug on a hospital Radio Station. Now a regular presenter on ORLA FM, along with News Reading / Presentation on 107.8 Radio Jackie.
I’m very proud to be with Radio ORLA.fm. It is a fantastic station that serves the Anglo-Polish community. Being of Polish heritage myself makes it even more special.
