Broadcaster Iain Dale has led a life full of incident and success, but also some very public failures. In Have I Said Too Much he gives a searingly honest account of his childhood, and careers in business, politics and media. Twice broadcaster of the year, he relates how he had given up on a career in radio, until he was given a break by LBC in 2009. Four years later he won the Radio Presenter of the Year award, repeating the feat three years later. He tells of the challenges of presenting an unscripted daily three-hour show, explaining the highs and lows of interviewing celebrities and those in power and the astonishingly emotional conversations he has with his ever-growing band of listeners. A familiar voice on radio, he’s also become a well-known face on television, on shows like Good Morning Britain, Newsnight, the Jeremy Vine Show and Politics Live.
This is not just a media or political memoir; he also writes about his belated ‘coming out’ at the age of 40 and the difficulties which came with it.
