"Working with Rhod Sharp was a highlight of my years at USA Today. He’s super-smart, funny, a natural broadcaster and a true gentleman."
Bill Nicholson, former night editor, USA Today
From the Studio:
Fortunately I got over the shock of listening to my own voice at a young age, thanks to John Ferguson’s dad and his Grundig tape recorder. Unfortunately, some might say, I grew accustomed to the sound and kinda miss it since Covid blew me off the BBC. The Rhodcasts (thank you Jake and Colin, and one happy afternoon in Cambridge for the name) are the typical product of a butterfly mind. And there’s a huge hole in my heart for the arts community right now. I too love an audience, and they are the missing part of every writer, performer and musician’s day. Let’s begin by hearing from some people whose creative careers were rudely interrupted by the deathly horseman of Covid and got right on and did something about it.
From the Scrapbook:
The greatest of all TV reporters Martin Bell gave me an excellent piece of advice not so very long ago. It’s a pity now I didn’t follow it. Martin said I should sit down and write 500 words every morning and pretty soon I’d have a book. Which is why I need this picture of a clearly hyper-talented child playing a plastic saxophone to pad things out. Do drop in from time to time and see how my recall is going. Rome wasn’t built in a day, you know.
