Since I started in back February 2020 it went really well but then COVID – 19 came it got a bit difficult so then i tried doing radio shows from home but i couldn’t able to record the show so i stopped it until we was safe to return back to the studio since then everything was safe and more special guests through online Zoom.

In 2018 I’ve found out that there was a group workshop in radio presenting and I thought to myself I really wanted to entertain people across the East Midlands so I took part in workshop to learn how to become a radio presenter which it took 2 months and I really got stuck in so they offered me a slot 2 hours every Wednesday’s from 4pm – 6pm since then I founded FMB Radio and I really wanted to have a another radio show to keep more people entertain.

What Impact does coronavirus has on you in regard to your work?
It has been very difficult for me because I wouldn’t be able to go out in the community or be able to do pre – record interviews with guests and also not be able to do LIVE shows in the studio.

What are your expectations for post Covid-19?
I hope that things start to settle in and get back to normal and to enjoy our lifetime by meeting friends and going back to LIVE shows gigs and much more.
