Even though I am on "holiday" I still did an interview for the BBC today. In fact I did two. Emily, the producer from the Sunday Show on BBC Radio Surrey & Sussex, asked if I would do a recorded interview on the phenomena of summer Christian Festivals (Newday, Soul Survivor, New Wine, Greenbelt etc.). I had already helped to set up BBC Radio Norfolk interviews at Newday where Adam, my son, made his live BBC Radio debut. You can find Newday on the BBC website.
Emily also asked if would do a 60 Second Sermon for the Sunday Show ("Why doesn't he do that every Sunday at church" I hear you say!). We recorded that too. I decided to do 60 Seconds on The Bible.
Both pieces will go out on Sunday morning between 7-8.00am on 104.6 FM. You can also listen to the show on BBC i-Player for up to a week afterwards if you wanted!
Emily reminded me today how much she and other radio producers need good human interest stories every week and some of the difficulties she has in finding good stories. The church, of course, is full of good stories and great people. Perhaps you could get in touch with your local radio station or newspaper and help a stressed producer\journalist?
Apart from my occasional foray into the BBC I am still a Consulting Editor with Christianity Magazine which is a monthly commitment - very worthwhile too. It keeps me in touch with the wider Christian community. You can buy the magazine or see the website: www.christianitymagazine.co.uk
