About the Author
Chris Moyles was born in Leeds in 1974. He started out presenting a hospital radio show at the age of 13. In 2003 he achieved his childhood ambition and was given the biggest show on BBC Radio 1, the legendary Breakfast Show. In less than two years, he had added over a million new listeners and made it the number one show in London for 15-24-year-olds. Something Radio 1 had never achieved before. Currently the show has over 8 million people tuning in each week.

Customer Reviews

Difficult? More like written in two days...
If you like a book full of inanities that seems like it has been written at lightning speed by a no-brainer, then buy this book. Otherwise avoid. A shame, cos I actually like Moyles on-radio style....

So bad it hurts
Moyles represents the the whole Lad thing, and somehow he's still living off the back of an image which was fashionable for ten minutes more than ten years ago. Sorry, but he makes radio for idiots, completely devoid of originality and, of course, intelligence, though he'd probably try to tell you that was the point. A fat talentless version of Chris Evans.
Love him or not, Chris Moyles is part of the fabric of our nation and a proven best-selling author, and that is so bad it hurts.

I find moyles irritating, objectionable and deeply unfunny. However, listening figures would suggest that a lot of people don't. Moyle is an ugly, talentless, ego-bloated monkey, who plays on the ignorance of his listeners (fans) and has no artist or comic talent whats-so-ever.

The self-styled saviour of Radio 1 earns a whopping £630,000, according to the Sun. Yes, I am a SUN newspaper reader and i find Moyles to be a loud talentless muppet. Chris Moyles is probably one of the worst presenters ever, he talks alot crap and plays very little music. Most the time he and his patsies talk about their exciting lifestyles and project how cool it would to be them.
