    7.Back in Time to Spring 1973
    May 28 2024
    You'll love this one ... it's a trip back in time to Spring 1973, when glam-rock ruled the medium-wave airways, Are You Being Served? was on TV, industrial action brought the country to its knees and Austin launched the brand new Allegro motorcar. Yes, when you think about it, life was pretty shit back then.

    6.Business is Just a Game
    May 21 2024

    You'll love this one - I talk about a special day from my boyhood, when I was just 6 years old, in the Spring of 1973. I then 'fast-forward' 11 years to my first ever job, at Armitage Shanks. Yes, you've seen that name when you're sitting quietly in a small room, deep in thought. I also recount an ancient story from Babylon, which reveals the FIVE LAWS of HOW TO MAKE MONEY. You can't AFFORD to miss this one. (Do you see what I did there?)

    5.A Bit of a Cult
    May 14 2024

    You'll love this one - I talk about a business trip (car journey, of course) to Sheffield and then on to the North East, and how I took part in a trial for table-service at Costa. I also talk about Social Media, The Wedding Present (great band) and introduce a fabulous new game called 'Guess the make of truck'. And if all that isn't enough, I also put it to you, dear fellow driver, that business is just a game and should never be taken personally.

    4.The First Podcast EVER made - Pt 2
    May 7 2024
    You'll love this one - it's the concluding part of Diary of a Sales Rep from 1998; it was the FIRST PODCAST EVER MADE! I also give an exciting step-by-step guide of how a flat-pack shower cubicle was delivered to a city centre Birmingham hotel in the back of a Ford Sierra (2.0 GL in Crystal Blue, E reg - nice motor!) in 1988. And if that wasn't enough, I also confess to having a keen interest in urinals. Don't judge me.

    3.The First Podcast EVER made - Pt 1
    Apr 30 2024
    You'll love this one - I talk about company cars and how I got my start, and began building a career, in the cut-throat world of Sales. In the second half of this episode, I introduce the FIRST PODCAST EVER MADE! - it's a rare recording of Diary of a Sales Rep (Part 1) from 1998. A slice of podcasting history, no less.

    2.M25 motorway and VHS v Betamax
    Apr 23 2024
    You'll love this one - I tell my fellow drivers all about the origins of the M25 motorway - and take a trip back in time to 1972, when construction of London's orbital route was just getting underway. I also explain what we all did for home entertainment in the 1970s and 1980s (basically, we just watched telly), and how VHS out lived Betamax.

    1.Bad Sat Navs and 'Just Let One In'
    Apr 16 2024
    An introduction to A Dull Man Driving - a new podcast to entertain and educate (perhaps?) as you drive along the overcrowded, potholed roads of Britain. In this first episode, I talk about old style map books, bad sat navs and courtesy (or lack of it) on the road. 'Just let one in', for heaven's sake!
