I like James Cridland. He’s a UK based radio guy who just “gets it”. Not just about radio but how radio and media and the internet are all converging.

Last year he did a very brave thing many of us would love to do but don’t have the balls to. He packed in a big job at the BBC to travel the world for six months learning about radio around the globe.

The results are a nice escape from the inward looking boxes we find ourselves in sometimes and you can hear/see them in the video below.

Outwardly a quiet reserved gentleman, James is actually quite incisive, humourous and to the point. So grab a coffee, click play below and enjoy a presentation of his trip around the radio globe. The audio is from his appearance at RadioDays Copenhagen, where people wandered in a little late (you’ll spot this), and where they laughed in most of the right places (you’ll spot this too).

James’ blog is well worth subscribing to if you are in any way interested in radio. james.cridland.net/blog/
