For the last few weeks, myself and Chris have been continuing as normal and presenting our Drivetime show on Hi FM. While many Omanis and Expats have been working from home we had been going to the studio and trying to provide light relief from the news.
We had the honour of talking to Sports Commentator and recent viral sensation Nick Heath about his live commentary:

After talking about the possibility of having to self-isolate and work from home, it eventually happened and we were told the shops would close at midday Thursday 26th March, so I quickly went to the shops and bought a microphone.
After decorating a cupboard with towels, pillows, and clothes to soundproof it, setting up my laptop on a chest of drawers I now have a makeshift studio. Chris has also created a make-shift studio from his spare room and we thankfully are still able to host our show weekdays 4pm-7pm.
I will warn you our “studios” get very hot and do mean we get a bit delirious…
