The thought of addressing a population of unknowns, whose reactions are un-gaugeable given their distinct absence from my line of sight… Have you ever tried your own stomach lining? Mmmm, tastes like defeat.

My most recent Everyday Adventure for The Herald involved joining a local community radio station, Bolt FM, as a guest for a night. Bolt is a youth-led, youth-managed project, training young people in media, audio and arts skills, and providing them with a much-needed voice in their own society. It was a joy to visit their studio and be interviewed by Rachel, a teenager with the most beautifully blasé radio manner.

You can hear the interview in all its inimitable glory below. And for the full blog – and a declaration of my love for you – have a look at The Herald.

Many thanks to all at Bolt for the chat.
