S03 E19 - Clive Dickens

Crunch & Roll

For the two of you who don't know, Clive was one of the big guns in UK radio management. The King of Capital. The Duke of Jack. The Archbishop of Absolute. But then he went to Australia, and took a lifetime of radio knowledge and enough stories to fill your average-sized encyclopaedia with him.

So very early (too early) one Sunday, when British Summer Time and Australian Eastern Standard Time conveniently aligned, we embarked on a mission to liberate and disseminate some of this knowledge and these stories from the Southern hemisphere.

So prepare to find out how Elton John was responsible for him getting into radio, how he almost introduced Posh and Becks back in the 90s, and how he's not scared of Richard Park!

There's also some consumer advice on how you might go about buying a major radio group, so if your in the market for one, you might want to make some notes.

If you enjoy the podcast, just want to give you a quick reminder that we’d be grateful if you would support us on Ko-Fi:  https://ko-fi.com/crunchandroll
