I met an Olympian!
Omani Olympian swimmer Issa Samir Al-Adawi had his first-ever radio interview on Hi FM. I am a massive fan of the Olympics and was quick to slide into the DMs of swimming sensation Issa and ask to meet him. Fresh from competing at the Paris 2O24 Olympics, Issa popped in to see me and chat […]
As if!!!
As if it has been three years since I got on a plane and moved to Oman. I never thought I would be here longer than a year, how wrong I was. A lot has happened in three years; good and bad. My Co-host Chris left the country after nine months of working together… I’m […]
The dream collab!
Beyond grateful and honoured to be asked to be involved in a HUGE marketing campaign in Oman. IKEA Oman opened its flagship store in Muscat and chose five “influencers” to give a room makeover to so they could promote the opening of their store. Four of the five were Omanis and there was one expat… […]
I jinxed it…
In my last blog I said how I thought I had Coronavirus and it embarrassingly turned out to be sunstroke.. Well I jinxed it! Some how I ended up getting the old rona, I even joked about on air how dramatic people were being and that I just had “a common cold”. Alas not, I […]
Goodbye for now
After nine months of working together, The Chris and Rachel Show is no more. Chris and his family are moving back to the UK, Chris has a new job as a producer at BBC Derby which is close to his family. I wish him the best of luck with his new role but will miss […]
Self-isolating
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 […]
I’ve got a new gig
No big deal, only gone and moved 3700 miles away to Oman. I’m the new Drive-time Co-Host with Chris Birks on HI FM weekdays 4-7pm and have a solo show Saturdays 1-4pm. Considering I’d only met Chris once before agreeing to do the show, it was definitely a risk. Despite his obsession with Pumpkin Spice […]
Mixing With Royalty
There’s a few things in life I love; dogs, music, food and THE ROYALS! I will openly admit for my Birthday last year I dressed up as The Queen and invited my friends to dress up as a member of The Royal Family and celebrate Harry and Meghan’s wedding. Therefore when I got the email […]
Sun FM
Some very exciting news is that I am officially a solo presenter! Nation Broadcasting recently bought a local radio station in North East England called Sun FM and I was asked to host the evening show. The station is in the heart of Sunderland and is involved with lots of local events. July, what a […]
Liberty Stadium Baby!
From time to time myself and Carl from The Big Welsh Wake Up get asked to host events; Charity Dinners, Races and Award Evenings. I absolutely love doing this as you actually can see your audience, opposed to imagining them from your studio. Yesterday we were invited to Liberty Stadium in Swansea (home of The […]
