Magid Magid, the Lord Mayor of Sheffield is to host a new show on BBC Radio Sheffield.
He is one of a series of guest presenters for a new evening slot on the station.
The Monday Night Social will also feature Howard Middleton, who appeared on the Great British Bake Off and drag artist, Luke Hague, who’s also known as Vivian Twist.
“We’re really excited about our new evening shows and we’ve worked hard to make sure we’re reaching out to new audiences and hearing new stories and new characters we don’t currently hear in our daytime shows. Some of the ideas for our new programmes came directly from the local community , so I really hope people will enjoy the new voices and new ideas they hear,” said Katrina Bunker, editor of BBC Radio Sheffield.
“I’m really proud to be developing new radio talent from our region and putting some new voices on the air, I think there’s some real talent for the future in our new line up. Our listeners will know Magid Magid who has taken the city of Sheffield by storm since becoming Lord Mayor and he will be a fantastic addition as one of the rotating cast of guest presenters on the Monday Night social.”
All the new shows will replace the Local Radio evening show which is due to come off air in the Autumn.
