North Manchester FM: Hannah’s Bookshelf, Saturday 19 September, 2-4pm

radio 2

Join me this Saturday, 2-4pm, for Hannah’s Bookshelf on North Manchester FM.

This week, I’ll be joined by the brilliant Colin Daffern. Colin was born and raised in Salford, and went to the same schools as both the Ninth Doctor and Gandalf. He studied for a degree Sociology & Women’s Studies in, but not at, Cambridge. Twice a semi-finalist on Mastermind, his other quiz show appearances include A Question Of Genius, Fifteen-To-One and, most recently, Eggheads. During the summer months, he volunteers with Oxfam at many of the UK’s major music festivals, and also hosts a regular show on Northern Air, the hospital radio station serving North Manchester General Hospital and Salford Royal. Quizzing aside, his claims to fame are a) almost accidentally putting salt in Peter Mandelson’s coffee and b) doing an impersonation of Norman Wisdom in front of Norman Wisdom.

I’ll be talking to Colin about quizzes, research and what it takes to be a Mastermind semi-finalist – and, of course, that Norman Wisdom impression! Colin will also be sharing his Apocalypse Books selections.

Don’t forget, if you would like your book featured on One Minute Books, send me a 60-second voicemail and I’ll play it on the show.

Tune in to Hannah’s Bookshelf, 2-4pm, on 106.6FM (if you’re in the North Manchester area) or listen online (if you’re further afield).
