We're always interested to hear how our guests get the radio 'bug', but it's fair to say if you gave us a million guesses as to Chris Brooks' story, we wouldn't have got it. WOW.

This episode is the inspiring story of Chris' single-minded determination to achieve his dream of saying "ninety-five point eight" on the radio. Along with obvious talent and resolve, there was some pretty amazing bits of luck on the way too, along with a heart-warming chat with *checks notes* Parky(?!)

Also hear how he first blagged his way on air, much to his bosses displeasure; a scary story from a stag-do in Vegas; and how he had a member of a boy-band review video games on his show.

And listen right to the end for a bonus George Michael story.

Contains strong language and adult content.
