"We're here for fun, mainly. Therefore, if we come first doing what we enjoy, that's great. But if not, let's at least work hard at it and do our best." - Jeremy Vine.
My guest this week is Presenter, Broadcaster and Journalist, Jeremy Vine. From a young age, Jeremy always knew he wanted to be a journalist, but he could never have predicted how his career would unfold.
Since joining the BBC as a News Trainee in 1987, he has spent more than three decades informing, educating and entertaining the great British public. Jeremy has graced our screens in a whole host of flagship programmes such as Newsnight, Panorama, Crimewatch, Points of View, Strictly Come Dancing and more. In June 2018, it was announced Jeremy would take over the popular Wright Stuff slot on Channel 5.
Jeremy is more than a familiar face on the telly. Since 2003, he has presented the most listened to radio current affairs programme in the UK on Radio 2\. He’s also published two books: his autobiography ‘It’s All News to Me’ tells the vivid story of a quarter-of-a-century in journalism, while his most recent book ‘What I Learnt’ is a hilarious memoir of lessons learnt from his Radio 2 listeners.
In this episode, Jeremy seamlessly traverses his career - and indeed life - so far. From growing up in Cheam in a 'family of show-offs', to his formative years as a trainee reporter in Coventry, to his incredible 30+ year career in broadcasting. A born storyteller, Jeremy shares plenty of brilliant stories and imparts pearls of wisdom to the next generation. He also shares his biggest aspiration for the future.
If you enjoy the first ever episode of When I Grow Up, I would LOVE it if you could leave a review or comment… it really helps with getting it out there.
