Step inside the wonderfully chaotic world of local radio as Steve Oates — the fearless ringmaster behind IOW Radio, Wessex FM, and Spirit FM — pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to launch a station from scratch. From bizarre studio mishaps to the larger‑than‑life characters who wandered through the doors, Steve shares stories that are equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and downright unbelievable.
And yes… this is the very same man who, for reasons still unclear, chose to employ every single one of us at some point in our careers. A true pioneer or a glutton for punishment? You decide.
