Fred Hart

I’m Fred Hart, from Cirencester in Gloucestershire.

I’m a Stock Controller by day; Out of my day job I’m a radio producer/presenter by night and the technical expert at Corinium Radio.

I spend my weekends driving abroad. I’m interested in politics, news & current affairs, baking, and my two cats.

I read, write, and speak Greek and German. University of Gloucestershire Radio Production graduate. Based in Cirencester but often found on the road both in the UK and abroad.

I blog about my travels, home baking, things I get up to at the weekend and politics.

I’m autistic, I have depression and anxiety, and travelling and presenting my radio show are often what keep me going.
