Hello there I’m Richard Smith, a former member of both Nottingham Hospitals Radio (NHR) and Radio Robin (Ilkeston Community Hospital Radio), with 35 years of programming, broadcasting and station management experience. Since the summer of 2004, I’ve been producing programmes, mainly for Hospital Radio listeners’ enjoyment from a purpose-built studio at home with an ever-growing library of 37,000+ pieces of music from all genres ranging from the 1920’s to the charts of today.
‘The A to Z of Pop’ programmes focus on a letter of the alphabet and then I’ll play titles or artists that begin with that letter. A simple idea I think you’ll agree, but one that works extremely well, and is very ‘listener friendly’. The A to Z of Pop’, is a generic programme that does not mention days, times or seasons, has no ‘sell-by’ date so can be used at any time of the day or night depending on your schedules’ needs. There are currently more than 100 stations in the UK, Ireland and Australia who use the shows on a more than regular basis.
