Glen Campbell

What item couldn’t you live without?

My headphones, I seem to spend my life with headphones on! Life is too short for cheap headphones.

What really annoys you?

Nothing really, live and let live every single time.

If you could choose your perfect meal, what would it be?

Producer Tracey and I have a dish called ‘Stuff’ dead simple, tons of salad, the normal carrots, lettuce, cucumber, celery, cabbage etc, with some beetroot, potato salad, maybe coleslaw, some grilled salmon or maybe samosa or onion rings, bhaji etc.

What’s the most bizarre music choice you have in your personal collection?

I have a vast collection, including gramophone 78s, mini disc, reel to reels so the most unusual is probably a reel to reel a friend gave me, which belonged to his Dad, of his Dad singing.

Why did you decide to join Rother Radio?

The money was too good to be true!

What other radio stations have you worked on?

Quite a few, BBC, Smooth Radio, Real Radio, MFR, Northsound, and many in between.

What’s the worst thing you have ever said during a show by accident?

I’ve been lucky as I keep a close eye on these things, however I used to do Traffic and Travel for many stations. I always called the presenter Gadge just for fun and also to let them know it’s me! Normally the presenter gives you a quick shout on the talk back to say “Coming up now” words to that effect. But this day it sounded like he was talking to me on talkback. So in a very low grow I shouts ‘Gaaaaaaaaaage’ then I hear silence!!! More silence!! Then a corpsed Radio presenter says “so after that, how’s the roads?” Carried on like nothing happened 😂.

If a very generous listener sent you £10,000, what would you do with it?

If someone was to be that kind, I’d currently use it to do some charity work. Something that can get neglected when you work all the time.

If you could change something about yourself, what would it be?

You always want to turn back time, although it’s not possible. So to change how old you are would be nice.

Tell us a secret about yourself?

I love old paraffin lamps.

Do you want to add anything else?

When do I get the £10,000? Just asking 😂!
