By the end of her first week she found herself working for John Turner as part of the Sounding Off crew.

"The two things I loved most about being part of the crew was solving people's problems and giving them a surprise on air," says Sacha.

"Hearing their reaction when they found that everything had been sorted out and having a laugh with JT."

While John likes wild boar and fine red wine, Sacha enjoys fish 'n' chips and a glass of cider - but they both share the same love of Bristol.

'Nerve-racking'


Whilst she was working on Sounding Off, Sacha was asked to present the Sunday Request Show.

"I was so taken aback and the first show I did was such a nerve-racking experience," Sacha revealed.

"But my nerves soon subsided when I began speaking to the callers who love my Bristol accent!"

When not working at Radio Bristol, Sacha works at Southmead Youth Centre as a youth worker.

She loves listening to music, shopping and spending time with her family.
