"Tales from a very minor celebrity"

Is it possible for someone with very little self confidence and who is also very shy to go on to become a radio and TV presenter?…Hosting their own live radio show, interviewing royals, Oscar winning actors and musical superstars as well as hosting shows in front of 20,000 people and even moving to another country to start a new career….Well I’m here to tell you that it is, because I did just that. My name is Simon Baldock and this podcast is called, “Tales from a very minor celebrity”….this is the story of how I overcame my insecurities and shyness and went on to have a 35 year career in broadcasting both in the UK and in Spain. You’ll hear some of my most memorable celebrity interviews and all the adventures I’ve had both in the UK and Spain and the stories behind them…like the time I delivered half a carcass of beef to Margaret Thatcher at 10 Downing Street! “Tales from a very minor celebrity”, a weekly podcast from me Simon Baldock.
