Crunch & Roll

Foxy's guest this episode of Crunch & Roll is Emma Louise Jones.
Emma is an increasingly familiar face in sports broadcasting where she can be seen at Elland Road reporting for her beloved Leeds United, and on Premier Sports covering rugby league. But it was on the radio where her star began to rise.
Emma and Foxy chat about her journalistic beginnings, how they ended up working together on a breakfast show on her home-town station, and getting a gig on 5Live with Robbie Savage.
It's a really warm, friendly and funny chat between two old friends.
Contains strong language and adult themes.

Radio is full of big characters. And then there's Jonathan Miles.
Let me tell you, there's some hefty names dropped in this episode. Chris Moyles - CLANG. Kenny Everett - CLANG. Richard Attenborough - CLANG. It's a measure of his own career that he's worked alongside some of the other greats of the industry.
John Fox chats to him about how his deep love of Australian consultants, how the BBC almost broke him and what caused him to flee Dubai. There big laughs and brutal honesty in the fascinating story of his career in radio.
This episode contains strong language and adult themes.

Mark might not be a household name like a few of the guests on Crunch & Roll, but anyone familiar with his work knows that doesn't mean he's not a great character of the industry.
He was a Viking FM stalwart; plied his trade on the Hit Music Network (but didn't know what stations he was actually on); moved to Beacon, Wyvern and BRMB; all before the lure of Nile FM drew him to Cairo.
Foxy's chat with him is honest, funny and at times, introspective. He covers topics from how he got himself removed from Michelle Collins' Christmas card list, to the unusual place he was when he received a job offer.
This episode contains adult themes and strong language.

Robin Banks is Foxy's first guest on the Crunch & Roll podcast.
Most people listening will know of Robin and have listened to him on Atlantic 252, Kiss 100, Beat 106 or BRMB. He's a massive on-air presence, a creative pioneer and one of the hardest working people in radio. But as with the best presenters, he admits that he has, on occasion, been a 'bit of a dick'!
In this episode find out what led to him ripping a studio door off, how he threw a former boss under a bus with Jay-Z and and why a disastrous debut on Galaxy made him check into rehab.
This episode contains adult themes and strong language.
