Why am I teaching journalism at
@TheGAcademy
?
Grandad worked the print in the days when it was set letter by letter, Dad left school and went from reporter to ace sub-ed, and I did 20 years in radio and won a few awards.
I want to keep building.
Any further questions?

Earlier this year a job interview required me to come up with a really specific creative media idea. I was not successful, and that's cool, I love what I do now.
It's just... last week I watched my idea on TV. Same organisation I pitched to, exact same presenter I suggested...

For most women, every night out is subject to a meticulous amount of planning how to get to and from the safety of friends with the least risk of danger. I've certainly never known any different.
That's not living in fear, that's accepting reality.
Shit, isn't it?

My mum lives round the corner. I can see her upstairs window from mine (we flash torches to say goodnight every day at 8). Haven't hugged her for two months.

Thanks for all the kind comments about what happened last night.
I keep imagining Chris safe and warm in hospital. I hope that’s real.

Genuinely baffled by the blokes calling me fat since moving to Twitch.
I’ve gone from 10 to 12 in Lockdown. That’s nothing.
It’s as if they’re just finding excuses to have a go, you know, because I need taking down a peg or two.
Imagine being that threatened...

About four years ago, I realised I’d been holding myself back, waiting for a time I’d feel ‘ready’ or ‘good enough’.
I’ve landed the radio job of my dreams, and am one half of a cult live act - yes, me!
Cheesy but true; don’t wait. Say ‘yes’. The time is now.

Asking whether it’s ok for men to cry is like asking whether it’s ok for women to lose their temper. Both things historically taboo, both essential emotional releases.

When I was 14 I was failing Spanish. The exchange was my last chance.
Got matched with a kid a year older who lived in the middle of nowhere. I said yes.
Sonia is the reason I passed my GCSE, got a degree with distinction and a fantastic godmother to my daughters.
Say yes.

Iain is one of the all-time geniuses of radio. I can't think of anyone else as brave, honest, spirited and anarchic. I know he will be back on air soon. Meanwhile you can listen to him here and see for yourself why he's such a pioneer and a beacon of light :

Until then, save your condemnation for the predators.

Well, today I went to the dentist and came home a crumpled wreck. Not her fault, she did a good job. I'm feeling sorry for myself and just need to feel looked after, but it's all a bit tricky and complicated right now, isn't it? Sometimes I get tired of being grown-up.
Anyway.

I’m going to say it. I’d have gone further, faster in this industry if I’d have got my tits out on Big Brother. Concentrating on qualifications and experience trapped me in the ‘safe pair of hands’ category for years. They used my brain, but not my voice and it’s utter ARSE!

Stress is exhausting, isn't it? I've had a few moments where it's lifted a little over the past week or so, but it's pretty relentless.
