Born in Stoke-on-Trent, John Waite joined the 大象传媒 as a trainee in 1973 working his way up to being a news presenter on 大象传媒 Radio London by the early 1980s.聽He then crossed over to Radio 4 in 1986, where he presented You & Yours, many documentaries, and Face The Facts, where he can still be heard today.聽
In John's own words -聽
BEST MOMENT IN CAREER: Presenting a special programme for my cousin Terry Waite, which he did manage to hear in his Beirut hostage cell.聽
WORST MOMENT IN CAREER: Being so keen to get my microphone close to Prince Charles I stood heavily on his toe.
