He is often dubbed as the King of Nightime Talk Radio, and is currently LBC's longest serving presenter. Having worked in all fields on the station from producing, reporting and presenting - but there is one question, who is Clive Bull?

Well this week he joins Luke to chat about his life and career on the radio and how he became associated with talk radio. Some of the stories we touch upon including getting that passion for radio and starting up a school radio station, before going to the National Broadcasting School. How he turned down a job at Southern Sound to join LBC. How he became associated with nightime radio and also how Peter Cook started phoning in his show as Sven from Swiss Cottage. What the split of FM and AM was like and some of the calls he has taken over the years and what it was like to see LBC go from a Local London station to a National one.

Remember to listen to Clive on LBC every Friday, Saturday and Sunday between 1AM and 4AM.
