In 1969 David Peschier looked for a voluntary hospital radio service he could join. After the Surrey branch of The Royal Marsden Hospital – a world leader in the treatment of all forms of cancer – invited him to visit, their positive response led the author to start Radio Marsden. Over the following 22 years, he built teams of enthusiastic volunteers who steadily improved the standard of studio equipment and programme content, with the service eventually extending to The Royal Marsden Hospital in London’s Fulham Road. The reader is taken on a journey from David’s first interest in radio to the challenging and often amusing early years of hospital broadcasting. Read accounts of celebrity interviews and visits to the studio (including Roger Moore and John Cleese), a heart-stopping moment on the River Thames, and his poignant interview with a young, terminally ill patient. This book will appeal to those with an involvement or interest in radio, as well as those with a connection to the hospital.
