Thanks for checking out episode 49 with welsh BBC TV and Radio presenter, Owain Wyn Evans.
In this episode, Owain talks about his upbringing in Ammanford in south Wales and past music projects, his 'coming out' story and why he felt like he had to hide his sexuality when starting work in TV, his wild journey as a TV journalist and weather presenter to his current role as DJ on the most listened to radio station in Europe, BBC Radio 2.
We also talked about drums a lot, including how Owain deciding to end one of his weather broadcasts by playing the BBC News theme on drums went viral online. We talked about Owain's Jobeky low volume/electronic hybrid drum kit and his 24 hour drumathon for BBC Children In Need where he raised over £3,000,000 for the charity!
