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.   Classic Darin: https://www.aircheckdownloads.com/audio-search?term=john+darin&sort_bef_combine=relevance_DESC John's socials: https://x.com/johndarinradio // https://www.youtube.com/@JohnDarinRadio   Support us on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/crunchandroll    

We've been asked loads why we don't have more people from Scottish radio on, and we can assure you it's not for the want of trying. But we think you'll agree we've bagged one of the absolute G's of Scottish radio here. Like Madonna and Cher, he's instantly recognisable by a single moniker. And like Madonna and Cher he's excelled in his field. It remains to be seen how he suits a see-through body suit or a conical bra though. His chat with Foxy is a joy, taking in his origin story as a successful knitwear salesman, an unbelievable management encounter on day three of a new job, and we get deep trying to figure out why there's a dearth of Scottish accents on English or national radio. And of course we discuss hi-jinx on the high seas with tales from the legendary listener trips to Amsterdam, Boogie on the Boat.   Listen to Boogie in the Morning on Forth 1, weekdays 6-10: https://hellorayo.co.uk/forth/shows/boogie-in-the-morning And Boogie & Arlene on Greatest Hits Radio, Sunday nights from 7: https://hellorayo.co.uk/greatest-hits/presenters/boogie-arlene-ghr Boogies socials: https://x.com/BoogsTweets / https://www.instagram.com/boogieinthemorning/   Support us on Ko_Fi and help keep us on your feed: https://ko-fi.com/crunchandroll
