Red Light Zone

About this book

Stop! Danger! Sex for sale! A red light can signify any one of those, but in a radio station it means a microphone has gone live: the walls may be soundproof, but in a studio space, everyone can hear you scream...or sneeze. For twenty-five years, Jeff Zycinski worked for BBC Radio and became the longest-serving boss of Radio Scotland. He made the big decisions - buying a new vacuum cleaner for the Selkirk office - and chaired a meeting that almost erupted in violence when someone suggested cats were better than dogs. He has a lot to say about Brexit, Scottish Independence, football, BBC bias, Islam and strippers...but not in this book. Okay, he talks about them a bit...mainly the strippers. An affectionate, humorous account of inside life at the Beeb - you will never buy chips in the same way again!
