On the radio
I was interviewed on BBC Radio Scotland this morning for a story about rogue recruitment agencies and their dodgy practices. My experiences with them have been well documented on this blog and, almost three years after I last had to deal with them, still infuriate and bother me perhaps more than they should.
Much like the unfolding expenses scandal, it’s as if an egg has broken and the collective consciousness – and rage – is finally free. I feel strangely liberated knowing that someone actually listened to me and took my concerns seriously for the first time in five years.
Although the full report is no longer available, here’s me being interviewed. Don’t worry, you only have to put up with my Midlantic accent for two minutes. Many thanks to the gallant Graham Stewart for getting things moving so quickly on a dreich Monday morning.
My written comments as well on Graham Stewart’s blog.
Ah, so it was you then! I heard the piece on my tractor and mentally joined up the accent and subject matter and this blog. It was good.
I have done the odd radio soundbite, which is much, much easier than TV, which I have also done very small bits of. For radio – I just remember not to bang the desk with my hand when making a point – it sounds terrible.

Disappointed by the underwhelming response to the investigative report across Scotland, which is to say, nil response. Are people really that passive?
