In this episode of 'The Two Norries Podcast', James Leonard and Timmy Long sit down with PJ Coogan from 96fm to chat about his impressive 40-year career. Starting from his early days of spinning records at home, PJ takes us through his journey into the world of radio. He shares the ups and downs, from technical glitches to the art of handling tricky interviews.
