RADIO GAGA “I t’s 7am, welcome to Cambridge about national breakfast radio hosts talking about getting up at 3.30am in the morning. OK, leafy Surrey isn’t quite the same as CB1, and no doubt they have a driver rather than a bicycle but all of a sudden, a 5.30am alarm call doesn’t feel quite as bad. And while John Humphrys is about to step down after 30 years at the helm of the Today programme, we only started on Cambridge 105 Radio in August, though we have just clocked up 100 editions of the show. Each morning we start at 7am – we present our mix of news, travel, entertainment and most importantly, Cambridge conversation – and finish at 9.30am. Back in the early days of commercial radio, teams of radio presenters would descend on their new city in the weeks before their first broadcast, desperately trying to learn how to pronounce local place names (in the case of Cambridge it would be Magdalene Bridge, for example) and find out about the local pub scene. However, as true locals, there are no such problems for us. Cambridge is the place we call home, THE HOSTS OF CAMBRIDGE 105’S BREAKFAST SHOW SHARE THEIR MONTHLY LOCAL FINDS Breakfast: I’m Julian Clover and I’m Lucy Milazzo...” There’s something unnerving
so when we say we’ve been to a pub/event/ wine bar, we mean it (although maybe not so much on a weekday these days as we now have the sleep patterns of a toddler). It will come as no surprise that one of our favourite features is the Friday Foodclub, when we invite local foodies into the studio to talk about their restaurant, bar, or the latest food trends. We also end the week with Jukebox Friday, the listeners’ chance to dictate the music selection. Over the next few months we plan to
use this column to tell you about our favourite discoveries, and some of the events we’re looking forward to attending. We like to think Cambridge Breakfast is uniquely Cambridge, with an appeal to those who live and work in the city, rather than a particular age range decided by marketing types. Join Julian and Lucy for Cambridge Breakfast, weekdays from 7am to 9.30am, and listen out for some Cambridge Edition input on the local events scene!
