Jeremy Vine: Over 30 years in Broadcasting & The Importance of Time

"We're here for fun, mainly. Therefore, if we come first doing what
we enjoy, that's great. But if not, let's at least work hard at it
and do our best." - Jeremy Vine. My guest this week is Presenter,
Broadcaster and Journalist, Jeremy Vine. From a young age, Jeremy
always knew he wanted to be a journalist, but he could never have
predicted how his career would unfold. Since joining the BBC as a
News Trainee in 1987, he has spent more than three decades
informing, educating and entertaining the great British public.
Jeremy has graced our screens in a whole host of flagship
programmes such as Newsnight, Panorama, Crimewatch, Points of View,
Strictly Come Dancing and more. In June 2018, it was announced
Jeremy would take over the popular Wright Stuff slot on Channel 5.
Jeremy is more than a familiar face on the telly. Since 2003, he
has presented the most listened to radio current affairs programme
in the UK on Radio 2\. He’s also published two books: his
autobiography ‘It’s All News to Me’ tells the vivid story of a
quarter-of-a-century in journalism, while his most recent book
‘What I Learnt’ is a hilarious memoir of lessons learnt from his
Radio 2 listeners. In this episode, Jeremy seamlessly traverses his
career - and indeed life - so far. From growing up in Cheam in a
'family of show-offs', to his formative years as a trainee reporter
in Coventry, to his incredible 30+ year career in broadcasting. A
born storyteller, Jeremy shares plenty of brilliant stories and
imparts pearls of wisdom to the next generation. He also shares his
biggest aspiration for the future. If you enjoy the first ever
episode of When I Grow Up, I would LOVE it if you could leave a
review or comment… it really helps with getting it out there.
