Libby Purves has had an ongoing love affair with radio since her childhood, when she saved up to buy a DIY transistor set. Her enthusiasm lasted through the teenage years of Radio Luxemburg and pirate station Caroline, and while at university Libby answered an ad for student volunteers for Radio Oxford. From then on she was hooked and entered the BBC as a trainee Programme Operations Assistant. The past thirty years have seen Libby as one of the most successful and popular BBC Radio 4 broadcasters, with a string of credits to her name including the Today programme, Midweek and The Learning Curve. She takes us behind the scenes of these programmes with amusing and entertaining anecdotes about the personalities involved, near-disasters and triumphs, and also makes an impassioned plea for continued funding and support for radio.
