The podcast is taking a break until 2023. However, I am releasing a one off special with Steve Ryde which I recorded earlier this year. Steve has an amazing CV when it comes to his work in children's television. Steve started out acting in the likes of 'Your Mother Wouldn't Like It' and 'Palace Hill' in the 1980's. Between 1993-1998 Steve was the voice of the continuity links on CITV and often appeared in many of the promos too. From May 1998 Steve moved to producing CITV when it returned to in-vision pres continuity and was responsible for choosing Stephen Mulhern and Danielle Nicholls to be the new faces of the relaunch.  During his CITV days he also acted in Wizadora as Tatty Bogle. Following a move to CBBC in the early 2000's he devised Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow and his voice talents were heard frequently during games of 'Bogies' as the 'Bogey-O-Meter'. His other CBBC credits include devising the likes of The Slammer, Chute, The Legend of Dick and Dom and Crackerjack.
