Richard Park opens up on his radio career in new podcast

Global’s former Director of Broadcasting Richard Park has joined Graeme Kilgour for a chat about his career in radio and broadcasting.

Speaking on the How You Say It podcast, Richard talks about starting his radio career on a ship, through to joining and leaving Global.

He also mentioned his many wins at the Sony Radio Academy awards, an event which he says is sadly missed these days.

Richard started his career on a ship off the coast of West Scotland broadcasting on pirate radio. From there he would become one of the biggest names in the world of radio broadcasting.

His career in broadcasting is quite incredible; pirate radio, BBC Radio 1, he helped set up and became Head of Music and Entertainment at Radio Clyde which was the 3rd commercial radio station in the UK at the time, programme director of Capital Radio and Magic Radio and then Global.

As well as broadcasting, Richard also signed Craig David under his record label and was also well known for his appearances on the popular BBC tv show Fame Academy.

Graeme said: “It was incredible to be able to discuss his career and also gain some extremely valuable insights in broadcasting, managing and communication.”
