It Shouldn't Happen to a Radio Presenter 58: All Change at LBC!
- 28 Aug 2018
“We need to have an adult conversation.” Never words you want to hear from your boss. My first thought was: “Oh God, what have I said on Twitter now…” But it wasn’t that at all. I’ve been presenting Drive on LBC for five and a half years now and have enjoyed every minute. I...
WATCH: Interview With Triggernometry
- 29 Jul 2018
This is an interview I did recently for the triggernometry podcast and Youtube channel. It’s 70 minutes long and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The interviewers are two comedians, Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster. We talk about my career, the power of radio, the NHS, immigratio...
For The Many - A New Weekly Podcast From LBC With Iain Dale & Jacqui Smith
- 4 Nov 2017
Back in March 2017, Jacqui Smith and I left the Sky News Paper Review, where we had established an on-screen partnership over five or six years. I covered the reasons for us leaving HERE. Since then, both of us have been inundated with people asking us when we’re comi...
Zoe Williams Reviews Iain Dale in the Evening
- 29 Nov 2012
here's a quiet, arresting radio revolution going on at LBC between 7pm and 10pm Monday to Thursday. Putatively – and often – it's a political programme, a mellow but rufty-tufty panel-debate between Tory Iain Dale and his guests. That's all pretty straightforward: as Julie Bur...
Handling my First 'Breaking News' Story
- 25 Oct 2010
Tonight told me why I love radio presenting. There's nothing like it when you have to cover a breaking news story, especially when you know the main protagonists are listening. At 6.15 I thought I knew what we'd be covering tonight - pensions, Ed Miliband's first 30 days, and ...
My First Four Weeks on LBC
- 16 Oct 2010
I’ve now been presenting my LBC show every weeknight for four weeks. I’m doing this in addition to my normal day job, which is running a publishing company, so you can imagine it’s not an easy schedule to juggle. But I love every minute of it. Most of the show is phone in b...
The Launch of Iain Dale in the Evening on LBC on Monday
- 17 Sep 2010
As most of you will know, over the last few months I have been a stand-in presenter for LBC in various time slots. Well, I'm delighted to tell you that I have been offered a permanent gig and I will be getting my own daily three hour programme. From Monday I'll be taking ov...
The Joys of Live Phone-in Radio
- 4 Aug 2010
What I love about presenting a phone in based radio show is that you can never predict what's ging to happen. And so it proved tonight. In the first hour of the programme we covered the story about the Advertising Standards Authority ruling in favour of Channel 4's decision...
Behind the Scenes at LBC
- 23 Sep 2009
Sorry for the lack of posting since lunchtime. When you get a call to say "can you present our evening show tonight?" from a nationally renowned broadcaster it kind of throws your schedule. A few weeks ago I did a tryout for LBC to present a show with Yasmin Alibhai-Brown. ...
The Day After
- 16 Mar 2004
Quite how I managed to talk about poor Clare Barnes on News 24 last night I don't know. I was given a tip by a North Norfolk friend to think of pleasant things, then you get through it. The press coverage of Clare's death has been astonishing. It's interesting that the media c...
