We could write anything here and it wouldn't matter because you just want the sweet, sweet Stephanie Hirst content. But I'm duty-bound to write at least a few words on the first of two episodes featuring one of UK radio's biggest and most loved personalities.

In this episode: Toolan gives a young Steph some sage advice; how she pestered her way into a gig on Minster FM ("I AM what you're looking for"); and how her first, illicit, on-air shifts were curtailed by an itemised phone bill.

So enjoy this episode, and keep an eye out for part 2 coming soon after. You could subscribe so you don't miss it. Just a thought...

There's some strong language and adult stories in this episode.

Everything you could possibly want to know about what Steph's up to nowadays is on her website: https://www.stephaniehirst.co.uk/
