About Adam Morris
Adam Morris started broadcasting in 2005 after graduating from university with a degree in classical music. Initially, he wanted to be a pilot, then he wanted to be a writer, then he wanted to be a pianist, then he wanted to be Elton john and finally he wanted to be a composer of contemporary art music. After realising that you actually need to be good at these things in order to succeed at them, he decided broadcasting might be the way forward, or at least a way out.
He joined a London-based radio station for kids to present the evening show, and when that closed down, presented an evening show across Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk. During this time, he called Nicola from Girls Aloud ‘Kimberley', called Gareth from the Office ‘Gareth' during an interview, instead of his proper name and made many showbiz friends including David Gray, Paul Weller and Chico off of the X Factor. He doesn't hear from them much these days and they don't respond to text messages...
In October 2008, he joined Mix 96 to present the Breakfast Show. He lives in the pretty little utopia of Fairford Leys and has learned much about Aylesbury since arriving here; apparently there are secret tunnels running beneath the town centre (he nearly got into one, but this pursuit led to him being asked to leave the basement of a local business...), apparently some of Clockwork Orange was filmed here, and apparently back in the 70s, the town was right at the cutting edge of musical culture to the point where that bloke out of Mott the Hoople described it as a miniature, Bucks-based San Francisco...
If he's not enjoying a locally-made brew in the King's Head, Market Square, he can be found drinking strong continental lager in the Harrow, or motorcycling across the Vale.

Christmas Dins: A revelation in the news about families choosing curry instead of turkey this Christmas led us on to the classic debate – do you go traditional or have something a little bit different for your Christmas lunch? Some reported meats like wild boar or goose or duck at dinner, whilst the more inventive went for Christmas stew… One caller confessed to cooking frozen pizza and chips for the family one year, without burning it. Genius!
Big Bums: According to new research, sitting down on your bum will make it bigger. This is because the mechanical load upon the fat cells of one’s behind causes them to stretch past their elastic limit, meaning that they retain the wider, squished shape. Chris quite rightly made the point that this could be why some people’s bums look like the chair’s they’re sat in.
The Tree: Last night, we erected the great Christmas Tree of Fairford Leys in my little flat. I don’t there has ever been a less appropriate use of the word ‘great…’ Anyway, we were somewhat disturbed when we opened the box to see that, due to our haste when putting it away in January, we bent the top of the tree into the container, leaving it with a 45 degree angle on the end. At least it’ll be comfortable for the fairy, who gets to sit atop a branch parallel with the floor rather than…the other option…
