In this episode of Amy Talks, I speak to Simon Marks, who has spent the better part of 40 years on TV and radio. We speak about his fascination with TV and radio from a young age, and his beginnings at LBC and Radio Luxembourg.
We also cover his ITN traineeship (and I show him some old footage), juggling his job in broadcasting with raising a family, the impact on his mental health and more.
