Tom Ravenscroft to present innovative new music show

[Gary]

Yes I agree, whichever way you slice it the programme has everything 
going for it. If you're a Peel fan you'd be mad not to listen to it. 
It has all the musical elements of a typical Peelie programme. As I 
've already said elswhere, I'm sure this is to be a small step in 
Tom's career journey - a thirty minute podcast just leaves you wanting 
more.

You've probably seen this quoted a few times...

Peel never expected any of his children to take up the profession. "He 
certainly didn't give me any tips," says Ravenscroft. "The last time I 
was on national radio, I got told off for swearing. Dad was talking 
about Archie [his grandchild] and asked me what I thought. I replied, 
'He's f***ing awesome.' He apologised for how badly he'd brought up 
his children."

And you can probably guess my next question! Can anyone remember when 
this was? Can we date it exactly and do any of us have a recording. I 
ca't recall hearing it myself.
