This week I spoke with my good friend and colleague James Piecowye and asked him to consider being my professional advocate. James, (self proclaimed Idea Rock Star), local radio talk show host and Assistant Professor of Communications at Zayed University has kindly agreed.

Now I’m concerned he will be dragging me on air to talk through ideas in public…(you can hear James on Dubai Eye, for a taste listen to his interview with with Hugh Macleod from GapingVoid)

(James, don’t take offence with the title of this post, it’s a Manchester thing… ‘burn down the disco, hang the blessed DJ’, The Smiths)
