The emphasis will be on storytelling and music selection rather than the more familiar seasonal playlists heard elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Martin\u2019s radio career spans several decades and has included work at BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio Leeds, LBC and TalkRadio. More recently, he has been a familiar voice on talkSPORT and on BBC Radio 5 Live\u2019s Fighting Talk.<\/p>\n<p>Away from live radio, Martin now produces a podcast, Un Podcast De Martin Kelner, where he reflects on broadcasting, popular culture and current affairs.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking ahead of the broadcast, Martin said: \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time since I last presented a music show, and Christmas Eve felt like the perfect moment to do it again. I\u2019ve been enjoying digging out some festive songs that don\u2019t always get an airing, and Mansfield 103.2 felt like the perfect home for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mansfield 103.2 programme controller Ian \u2018Watko\u2019 Watkins described the show as a festive highlight for the station and a chance for listeners to hear a well-known broadcasting voice in a different setting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Martin Kelner is back on music radio with a special Christmas Eve programme on Mansfield 103.2 this year.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":331794,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[96,128,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-331793","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-music","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=331793"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331793\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/331794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=331793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=331793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=331793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
