Sometimes, I get to go on the radio. Such appearances are invariably
disastrous, because the presenter knows nothing about the subject in hand
and asks questions that would take 30 minutes to answer properly. Still,
publicity is publicity...
Here are some transcripts.

The Today Programme
BBC Radio 4
23rd January, 2004
The result of a letter
I wrote to The Independent about
their dismissal of computer games.

The Dave Monk Show
BBC Radio Essex
23rd August, 2006
The BBC reported
a senior Electronic Arts executive
saying that the computer game industry
was failing women. Essex University was
contacted to put someone up to discuss
the issue, and I was that someone.
Although it was on the Dave Monk Show,
Dave Monk was away so I was interviewed
by Steve Scruton instead. It went on
for 11 minutes, which is quite long
by radio standards.
Immediately after it was over, my
12-year-old daughter asked me for a pink
Playstation.

The Breakfast Programme
BBC Radio Essex
5th March, 2007
The news that World of Warcraft had
reached 8,000,000 players, coupled with
a possible misunderstood report of the
death of a player to a heart attack brought
on by playing it for seven days solid,
caused Essex Radio to get in touch with
Essex University to ask if there was
anyone who could talk on the subject. That
would be me, then.
