   S04 E13 - John Darin

   I tell you what we we want, what we really, really want... ... a Head of Music who threw the Spice Girls debut single straight in the bin! But what if he was right all along..? This was one minor misstep though, in a fantastic 36 year career, entertaining audiences in East Anglia, the North East and Home Counties. John Darin chats to Foxy about his mad living arrangements when he moved to GNR; how as a manager, he tried to budget his way out of his on-air gig; and our old friend the radio station ghost makes a comeback. It's been a while.
