About this episode

Having worked in radio in the UK, I am excited to bring you this episode with JJ Thompson & Katie Overy.

JJ is currently hosting the 104.8 Channel 4 Breakfast Show alongside Nimi Mehta. Katie helped launch Dance FM in the UAE co-hosting the breakfast show before moving to Heart 107.1. She left Heart 107.1 in 2020 and is now working as a cover host on talk radio station Dubai Eye 103.8.

I could have gone on for hours, JJ & Katie are incredibly open and honest with how they have seen the growth in UAE radio, where radio can improve, as well as giving us an insight into 'radio politics'.
