Some of our guests dip their toe in the exotic world of overseas radio but end up gravitating back to the UK. We get the impression that Ian Camfield though would rather lose a limb than return home.
He's and XFM legend - there from the start and through the glory days - but plies his trade in the US nowadays... but more of that in part two.
In part one we concentrate on the Camfield origin story, including which Radio One behemoth invited him into his (very loud) studio when he was just aged eight, and started him on his stellar career trajectory. Also find out how the stigma of working on a certain station almost meant his XFM dream died before it had even started, and which kings-of-rock asked him to help get their personal trainer a US visa.
This is part one of two, so keep an eye out for the second on this very feed.
And he's got his own fancy website: https://iancamfield.com/
