I recently announced via my social channels that I'll be taking a bit of a break and a full podcast series won't happen this autumn/winter like it normally does but I hope to start up again in 2023. However, I had recorded one interview in March of this year and I didn't want to save it for a whole year. It's too good not to let out! So here is a one off special interview with Steve Ryde.
You can also listen to the chat on Youtube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
In the chat we talk about Steve's time with the Central Television Junior Workshop where he appeared in Your Mother Wouldn't Like It and Palace Hill between 1985 and 1991.
Between 1993 and 1998, Steve voiced the out-vision continuity pres links for CITV live for 5 days a week, nearly every week. Sometimes he'd appear in the promos too, donning many daft outfits. He'd take a few weeks off to film Wizadora where he played Tatty Bogle the scarecrow, taking over the role from Joe Greco.

In May 1998, CITV underwent a big relaunch and returned to in-vision pres continuity. Steve was chosen to be the producer and was responsible for choosing Stephen Mulhern and Danielle Nicholls to be the new faces of CITV.
In the early 2000's, Steve moved to CBBC where he devised Dick and Dom in da Bungalow and leant his vocal talents to commentating every single games of Bogies.
Steve's other CBBC credits include devising the likes of The Slammer, Chute, Hoopla, The Legend of Dick and Dom and the revival of Crackerjack.
