Press Play - The Podcast from Reel Resilience - Ep 25: Iain Is Interviewed on Local Radio
I have been meaning to do this for a long time, a bit more about me and my experience, so you get an idea of the person behind all of this. I did an outline of my background in Episode 1 but there is nothing like being interviewed and answering those, sometimes tricky questions, that get you searching the depths of your memory to answer them.I was asked to appear on Darren Harte’s radio show on Harborough FM, to talk about the resurgence of tape. Darren is a client of Reel Resilience , I have serviced his cassette deck and reel to reel machine in the past. In the interview Darren also mentions the audio archive at the University if Leicester who are also one of my clients.Support the show
