She turned down a job at Leicester Sound to go to University in Nottingham, but from then on Amy Voce went onto achieve a successful career in radio across the Midlands with Century 106, Heart 106 and GEM alongside her partner in crime Sam Pinkham. Winning awards and hosting the successful Sam and Amy Breakfast Show for 11 years across the East Midlands.
In this weeks edition, Amy sits down with Luke to share stories about her radio career, which involved getting the bug for the industry and starting work with Leicester Sound before moving to Nottingham for University and joining Century 106. How the Sam and Amy partnership was formed and what the feeling was like taking over breakfast. Winning awards for their Breakfast show when they were at GEM and doing cover shows for BBC Radio 2 and Magic 105.4.
