What's the best song you've ever played? The Girl from Ipanema.... As sung by "Cleanie Jeanie" the West Fm Cleaner whom we get on air to sing for us.
What's the best piece of equipment in your studio? The microphone, ...and the worst? The microphone!
What's the strangest radio competition you've ever done? Bribe the DJ...I offered some CD's in return the listener had to give me something. One woman turned up in the station car park with a huge Mr Whippy ice cream van and made a big "titanic boat" for me. Then the next evening a girl delivered me a pizza wearing just a bikini....needless to say I gave her one...erm Cd.
Who was the oddest caller you ever had on your show? We were doing a phoner on "Where was the strangest place you met your partner?". This woman got through and said she met her man whilst she was being treated in the local psychiatric hospital!
What's the best thing about being on the radio? Getting paid for doing something I love.
If you weren't in radio, what would you like to do? Talk to myself in a big padded room!
Worst official listener complaint about you? That I was the Anti-christ.
Who's the biggest talent on
Have you ever snogged a listener? Juicy details here? Recently snogged someone over the air to celebrate National kissing day, But I had to cut the call short as it was getting a bit messy.
What's the strangest outside broadcast you've ever done? We done a whole show from the car park one sunny day, on my mobile phone with a camping gas stove. I turned the gas on and off and told the listeners we were broadcasting from a hot air balloon above Ayrshire! Sad thing was people actually called in to say that they could see the balloon!
What's the biggest on-air blooper you've done? Gave out my home phone number for a competition instead of the stations.
What's next in your career? The End.
