Andy Hoyle
You can hear Andy at various times right across the week. He says: "I’ve had some great times in radio over the years, and the ability the medium has to create a one to one connection is second to none. "Care Radio has re-focused me on why I loved radio so much in the first place. I’ve been remembering times in those early days in hospital radio when you know you’ve helped to make somebody’s day just that little bit easier. It’s great to know, that even in a small way, we can make a difference by being a friendly voice when it’s needed, providing company and companionship."
