Tomorrow it's back to business at 2RPH with the presentation of the Newcastle Herald. Readings from the latter have been shuttered (for the most part) in recent months due to the pandemic. The new start comes with a different studio and a much reduced program, only 45 minutes.

My usual Friday stable mate Peter Ryan has kindly let me take charge over the next few weeks as there is no place for a reader in the studio. The announcer will do all the chores and that it me. There is no time to take a breath but I love the challenge. One is entirely focused on the task in hand and there is no room for distraction. It is an altogether joyful busyness.
