Big John, Liesl and James from Hallam FM and Hits Radio are getting back together for a brand-new weekly podcast.
John Harrison hosted Big John at Breakfast on Hallam FM and later Hits Radio South Yorkshire for 25 years before coming to an end in June when Bauer launched a national breakfast show across the network.
The news of the team reuniting for the podcast was announced on Big John’s Facebook page. He said that although he welcomed the change in his life, he’d been feeling guilty that some listeners might think he and the team had “just dumped and ran and abandoned our friends”.
He continued: “However, it was never goodbye forever. It was just a pause. After 25 years of waking up South Yorkshire, we have unfinished business, you and I. So, let’s do something!
“It starts with a free weekly podcast every Friday called Big John At Breakfast – FRIDAYS!, starting Friday 29th August.
“Liesl and James will be with me – It’ll be like our usual Friday show AND we’ll have the Official Friday Song too.”
The show will be available as a podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible and Amazon Music. It can also be heard on a smart speaker by asking it to “Play Big John At Breakfast – FRIDAYS!” – “Don’t forget the word FRIDAYS or it’ll start playing some random radio station,” says John.
