Dan Benedictus

10pm Sunday on Absolute Radio 90s.

My name's Dan and I've worked at Absolute Radio for 4 years; I first did work experience here, and then I joined as a receptionist, then I became a runner, then I spent about 2 and a half years in the scheduling department making sure that ads played out in the right place. Then I joined the Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show for 6 months. Now I work as a producer making trailers and jingles, and I also help answer the phones on Geoff Lloyd’s Hometime Show.

Anyway, I've always wanted to be on air, it's just that it's taken me a while to get here, what with having lots of jobs here already, I was quite busy. I still work full time at Absolute Radio when I'm not doing my show, so if I sound a bit tired during my links, that's why.

Apart from radio, I DJ at clubs when people ask me to, and play a load of electro and techno and stuff that's not particularly suitable to play on air, although sometimes I am known to knock out a bit of classic rock.

I am a keen inventor and created the MP3 player, the dishwasher and wellington boots. I also invented all those facts. Not the ones above, just those last few.
