"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.

Hello again and thank for downloading this weeks episode of Tales From a Very Minor Celebrity…I must say that this short series of podcasts featuring the stars of programmes from my youth are proving very popular..programmes from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s do seem to hold a special place in many of our hearts and the reruns continue to get very decent viewing figures.
Again this week we’ll be hearing from another two stars from programmes that had huge following back in the day and both have had big hollywood versions made as well…first up is Antonio Fargas who played Huggy Bear in Starsky and Hutch and then one of my all time favourite characters, James Best who was Rosco P Coltrane in the iconic Dukes Of Hazard.
