Marian Kenny has been in the radio industry for more than 30 years, starting in 1984 at Radio Hallam, Sheffield where her first job was reporting from colliery picket lines during the year-long miners’ strike. She 'scooped' some incredible interviews in her time - miners leader Arthur Scargill and Terry Waite’s mother when the hostages were freed from years of imprisonment in Beirut to name just two, before moving to the IOM in 2003 looking for a quiet life... Luckily for us, she was soon sucked into Manx Radio, where she was appointed News Editor in 2008. Despite all the varied news stories covered in the UK, she describes the Isle of Man as "by far the most varied and challenging ‘patch’ I’ve ever worked in" - in this interview she tells us why, and shares many other fascinating stories and insights, in a special programme broadcast on her final day at the station.
