John OsborneYour host on Kent`s INVICTA RADIO weekend afternoons, the nightly 'Wind Down Zone', and Saturday night's 'Boogie Years'. John's a busy man!

Definitely the only radio warm-up while you are waiting for the Caister Weekender to arrive. If you are in the Invicta Radio reception area check out John on your No1 Hit Music Station. Why not drop him an e-mail and maybe he'll play your favourite track?

John's got some great stories about his broadcast career. There's the one when he interviewed Madonna before she became a mega star. She was chatty and pleasant, and wearing a very short tennis skirt - let's just say John couldn't concentrate very well! After fluffing his questions a second time Madonna asked him if there was anything she could do to help!

He also had another funny interview experience. While working at a station in South London, John couldn't believe it when Mary Wilson from the Supremes came to visit him in the studio. Things were going well until his boss appeared at the kitchen door to offer him a cup of tea (it was a 'pirate' radio station run from a mate's house). The thing is, the boss was completely naked and John just wanted to die! Mary, however, accepted the offer of some tea, saying, "yes please, honey, with cream and sugar." What a gal!

John Off Air

John may have made it at Kent's Number One Hit Music Station, but he still has a lot of wishes to fulfil.

His dream car is an E-type Jaguar, and for things to be truly perfect, he'd want a chauffeur to drive him too. But that's not all. John's other dream is to travel more. He'd love to go on safari for a really exciting adventure. But if you ask him about his ideal relaxing holiday, he'll tell you it's got to involve a yacht which would sail him around the world, with a helicopter to pick him up whenever he felt like going ashore. Dream on John - no chance with your wages from Caister!

Back to real life... John's an Arsenal supporter. He's spent lots of his time recently on DIY - not actually doing it, but finding other people to do it for him! He also loves to play with his young son, Liam, and lives with his wife, Debbie, and other children, Steven and Laura
