What’s your most embarrassing moment on air?

"Caversham Bridge Park - I have fond memories of spending my childhood summers there eating ice lollies and running around."

What are your most memorable jobs before working for ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Berkshire?

"Goodness me, where do I start! I've worked at A LOT of high street shops in Reading's Broad street - River Island, WH Smith, M&S, Dorothy Perkins. I've also worked for Thames Water, Reading Borough Council and Prudential as a receptionist, PA and administrator - so it's varied! (ohh yes- I've paid my dues :o)).

What’s your favourite piece of music?

"Ohh no - I can never answer this question because it depends on my mood!! But - if I have to choose one song it would be Al Green Let's Stay Together or anything by Paul Weller :o)"

Debbie Farnfield
Hi, Didn't Alice do well - so pleased to hear her speaking so confidenlty on your show. SHe is a real star.

Grace
Caught the show for the past few weeks and particularly enjoyed the beautician last Sunday - it's especially good to hear from a beautician who takes black hair and beauty seriously and recognises that there is a market out there for black skincare and make up!

CHANDLER
email lorraine.chandler@ldh.nhs.uk looking for winfield da costa chandler dob 2 September 1946 - to tell him his son Richard is going to make him a grandfather - no contact for 16 years

Enola Wright
Happy 2nd Birthaday. Loved the show... refreshing... informative and great music. The information from Joyce was invaluable and I will definetly give her a call before my big day. Keep up the excellent work! Enola

caroline gray
What was that Mighty Sparrow track you played at the start of your show on Sunday? It was ace. Was it called Dance to this?

Jos
Missed a few weeks of the show, however it still sounds great! Keep up the good work.

Claudette Henry
Caught your show re windrush a few weeks back and ended up sitting in the drive until it ended. Didn't get the last two (forgot the time!!) but just wanted to say what excellent programmes they were, well researched and presented. good music too! I used to run a Dominican chorale "Sisserou" (based in Reading) performing caribbean cultural songs and we wrote and recorded a song in 1997 called 'Streets of Gold' based on our parents interpretations of when they came to the uk. Your programme brought back memories of the many discussions they had regarding their different experiences. Well done, keep up the good work - will try to cath the show more often! (ps any chance of getting a copy of last 2 progs?)

bob m in new zealand

Jocelyn
Great show. Good to hear about local events.

Enjoyed listening to Simon Chandler talk about his work with young black people-but is it aimed at boys only?There wasn't much emphasis on what activities he does for girls. Still a brilliant show

Andy Franklin - "A.Class" hot96fm

Bill Monkau
Hi LouiseBorn and bred in Dutch Guyana, I have been taught by my parents to do the things I can to the best of my ability. The concept of role models doesn't appeal to me. The whole environment, milieu if you like, is my domain to pick up ideas. Whatever you strive for at the end of the day you have to do it all by yourself. My mother is an Amerindian and my father from African dissent. They taught their children to look at people as human beings. But don't get me wrong, I am aware of black, Asian and caucasian perceptions. It is good to know all that's invented by blacks. However, what's been achieved by countries led by blacks is better for our image. Mugabe and his African colleagues as a bad case in point. We need more leaders like Nelson Mandella!!!!I like your program, though. Keep up the good work.Cheers Bill MonkauMiddelburg - Netherlands

JK
