Well, today’s the day. At 4pm I start my first Drivetime programme. Up to now I haven’t been nervous about it at all. After all, I’ve presented around 2,000 hours on the radio in the last two years, so I ought to be used to it. But let’s not pretend that this isn’t a show which will be under far ore scrutiny than my evening show. So when the light goes red at 3.59, I suspect I will have that slightly empty feeling in my stomach. But the smell of greasepaint, etc etc…
it’s a very busy news day today so we’re not going to be stuck for anything to talk about. Vicky Pryce/Chris Huhne., Abu Qatada, the Banking Commission, Apprenticeships, Liam Fox’s speech, and much more. We also have a bit of a coup in that I have an interview with the Archbishop of Canterbury. I think it’s the first full radio interview he has done since his appointment. That will go out at 5pm.
We’ve also got classical musical chart topping guitarist Milos Karadaglic.
I’ll update this throughout the day once our running order becomes clearer.

UPDATE 11.39: Just finished the interview with the Archbishop of Canterbury. A couple of good lines in it, I think.
