Sports Broadcaster - Alex Payne

Published: Feb. 11, 2021, 6 a.m.

b'We chat with Alex Payne about life as a sports broadcaster. The avid rugby fans among our listeners will know the name well, Alex has been presenting Rugby Union coverage for a number of years, landing a job at Sky Sports just a week out of university making the tea and coffee, gradually progressing up the ranks to his dream job of Broadcaster. Being a broadcaster and working at the weekends left Alex with a lot of free time during the week which he at first filled with playing golf, but in his own words he "wasn\'t get any better" (We know how he feels!) and needed something more to occupy his spare time, so he started to get involved in other businesses and develop a number of interests on the side. His latest business is in the tech sector, The Room is all about mutually beneficial exchanges between brands and people. We also chat about what its like to work with the brilliant James Haskell and Mike Tindall on a regular basis hosting their podcast "The Good The Bad The Rugby" If you haven\'t already, give it a listen, some brilliant interviews with super interesting guests. A real pleasure to chat with Alex.'
