Welcome to our new look website
102.4 Radio Hartlepool won a full-time licence to broadcast to the town back in 2008. Since then we have entertained the listeners with a mix of chat, local news and some great music with an air of professionalism that matches the 'big name' radio stations.
We use a team of dedicated volunteers to maintain our on-air output and there are always a variety of different personalities used. Many people come to the station having had no training and we carefully guide them to find 'their voice' and make sure they are ready and confident before putting them on-air.
Radio Hartlepool has helped raise thousands of pounds for charity by giving valuable on-air promotion to several charities and local community groups over the last six years and we continue to do so.
We truly are at the heart of the community with our studios in the centre of Hartlepool, amongst a bustling population. With our open-plan view onto York Road, its good to watch the world go by as we bring you more local shows.
Pop Stars in My Pantry by Paul Simper (Review)
Pop Stars in My Pantry
A Review by Lee Theasby
I’ll explain the intriguing title shortly but if you’re a fan of 1980’s pop, you will love this book.
Simper was a journalist for the much missed Number One magazine for five years. Being in the right place at the right time with some great networking skills (before networking was a concept) means that there are tons of anecdotes, whether it’s following the early Spandau Ballet around, becoming friends with Jacqui from the ‘Nanas (a friendship that still endures today).
By the time he left the magazine, the pop world was turning ultra professional and PR lead, so Simper then had a go at being a pop star with Miss O’Sullivan. Without giving too much away, it didn’t really happen, not for a lack of trying.
PSIMP (understand the title now?) is a worthwhile purchase and I sat and read it from start to finish in two sessions. To cut a long story short BUY IT!
