About Me
Peter has had a long and varied career - or is that careers? It makes for a huge range of resources, skills and insights to be deployed for his favourite activity, communication through radio. His technical skills in radio go back to tape and razor-blade days when an international land line meant camping in the basement of a telephone exchange. Nowadays it's all digital of course, and his IT knowledge goes back just as far to 1978 - and as an early adopter of - well, almost everything - he's pretty techno-savy on and off-air.
As for culture: well one-time visual arts critic, gallery owner and founder director of what is today one of the UK's foremost art galleries; advisor to hundreds of arts organisations; and a knowledge and interest in every art form means that he's happy speaking to James Dean Bradfield of the Manic Street Preachers, or Rebecca Evans the opera diva!
He's as happy on site or off-piste with a miniature digital recorder, as running single-handed a two hour music/interview/phone in show on a Myriad desk. He's pretty much equipped at home to do anything from live interviews (using Skype), editing a podcast or programme, feeding a mixed programme live.
He lives in Wales, speaks a bit of Welsh and is passionate about the little nation that punches far above its size.
Favorite Shows: None: anything that has high production values and communicates passion
Influences: The very best of everything
