I am now a qualified counsellor. Right now I'm working primarily via Zoom. I have some spaces on my books. If you'd like to chat about how I can help with depression, anxiety, addiction and many other things, please send an email to hello@iainleecounselling.com

No 'best of luck' from me because this is all wonderfully 'you'. The talent, the morals, and the bravery to jump from the runaway train of radio at this juncture is both exceptional and 100% sensible. You're already a truer you by these tweets. Well bloody done mate. xx 💚 💚

Iain retiring from broadcasting is a massive indication that speech radio is a complete shit pit right now. All fear prodding, no fun. Good luck for the future Iain, you’ll be endlessly missed.

Hey everyone, a bit of news, a few weeks ago I handed my notice in at Jack FM. Not sure how long I've got left (maybe nothing after this tweet!). It wasn't working for me with no producer, podcast or daily best bits. It's also made me realise I don't want to work in radio...

I'm supposed to be back on Jack on Wednesday. These tweets may have knocked that on the head, let's see. Thanks for all your kind words.

I've been working in this industry for 30 years and I'm really tired. So, onto new and better adventures. Thank you radio, for most of it it was a blast. X

...anymore so I'm announcing my retirement' from broadcasting to focus full time on my counselling work. There are of course exceptions. Patreon will continue, as will voiceover work and the odd gig on 4 Extra. I'll still consider offers but won't chase them.

Twitter makes more sense than this reply. State of it.

Considering the code was written by people with wine dispensers in the Cafeteria, it's unsurprising if it needs broken before it's fixed especially since they've discovered shadow tags in the code that wasn't disclosed in the sale not obvious to those trying to originally fix it

Amazing and well deserved. Seeing the evolution of James over the past 20 years has been a thrill. Also, it shows that anger-tainment is on its way out.

Congratulations & thanks to the crack team behind the most popular talk show on U.K. commercial radio: @eleanorwalshie; @KeithTrue & @cburholt. An amazing & unprecedented achievement for a non-breakfast show. twitter.com/global/status/…

This book is absolutely stunning. If you have even a passing interest in McCartney, you really should buy this.

Rarely do you get a Beatles-related book that raises the bar as much as this one. It effortlessly blurs the lines between thoroughly researched documentation and fascinating, entertaining cultural history. A must-have document that will be referred to for years. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was a great dad when my kids were little. I could make them laugh and we played and had loads of fun. I'm lost now they're teenagers and I hate it. I miss them so much.

Can I acknowledge how important producers are in making a radio show? Often overlooked by the listener, the job has steadily been downgraded in the industry. I've been lucky to work with some of the best. You can't do a great show without a producer.

If you've been working in a radio newsroom for a while and are looking for a new challenge (maybe you're a freelancer who's up for going full-time for a while) ... I'd love to hear from you! Senior Journalist job going at 👇

I was awoken at 4am by a complete stranger of a cat, who I now call Dennis, in my bedroom. 4 of my 5 couldn't have cared less but George took it very personally and did everything he could to chase Dennis out. Dennis was most unimpressed.

So thanks to Agent Chris, Eloise, Katherine and Will Taylor. You helped take my shows to the next level. It is greatly appreciated. I don't have a producer right now and it's bloody hard work and the show suffers. That's not a dig at anyone, that's just the situation.
