From the BBC to Gen X: Mick Ord on Media Then & Now
What was it like running one of the UK’s top radio stations before podcasts, smartphones, or social media? And how has the role of the broadcaster changed in the age of algorithms?
This week on The Gen-X-Perience, Stacey and Roy chat with Mick Ord—former head of BBC Radio Merseyside and co-host of Misadventures in Music—about how journalism, radio, and music culture have evolved from the 80s to today.
From BBC war rooms to TikTok trends, Mick shares unforgettable stories, sharp insights, and a few laughs along the way.
🎧 From pirate radio to playlists, cassette tapes to content creators—this one’s a time-traveling masterclass in media.
Hosted by: Stacey Jackson & Roy Basnett
Produced by: Laura Basnett
Recorded at: Podcafe, Liverpool
Theme song: Closer To My Dreams by Stacey Jackson
