Johnnie Walker Meets... The 大象传媒's Pop Pioneers

Johnnie relives the early days of 大象传媒 radio pop broadcasting with fellow pirates who left the high seas for Portland Place.

Johnnie relives the early days of 大象传媒 radio pop broadcasting with fellow pirates who left the high seas for Portland Place - Keith Skues, Emperor Rosko and Tony Blackburn alongside former Radio 1 controller and opening morning producer Johnny Beerling, David Symonds and the much missed Radio 1 presenter Annie Nightingale.

Johnnie also pays tribute to the first voice on Radio 2 - Paul Hollingdale, who sadly passed away in 2017. You'll also hear archive clips from the opening morning on both stations, shows from the period like Top Gear and Junior Choice and songs that were making the charts in the summer of love.
