Radio and podcasting. Explained by a fella who’s on the radio. And does podcasts!

Hi there I’m Marty Miller, H.N.Dip. in Radio Broadcasting and Journalism.

Radio host with Radio Nova and sometimes seen on Virgin Media TV.

I been doing radio a long time now. I adore it. I want to show how much and give you an introduction to this still extremely popular medium, despite much competition from the digital world!

I play a part in peoples mornings daily and it’s a privilege to be invited in.

I’ve worked at all the big commercial radio stations in Ireland after starting at 16 years of age in Beaumont Hospital Radio. It’s been an amazing journey, that never gets old!

(Ask me about the time I once presented a hot hits music show and a country music programme at the same time. Live!)
