Now this week you’re going to hear two very different interviews from my archive, one serious and one very frivolous …the first is with champion javelin thrower Fatima Whitbread and the second with Carol Smillie, the former presenter of Changing Rooms the series which paved the way for a plethora of home improvement programmes.
First though Fatima Whitbread who spoke to me, not about athletics, but adoption, something very close to her heart as she was adopted when she was a teenager.
The interview is also notable because it was featured on Pick Of The Week, the long-running radio 4 programme which features extracts from BBC radio programmes broadcast over the previous seven days and which are drawn from all of the BBC's local and national radio networks, as well as the BBC World Service, so to have one of your interviews to be chosen is quite a big thing.
