Richard J. Hannah, presenter of The Sunday Radio Magazine on Dynamic Radio, has announced that he will undergo sight-saving surgery in early May.
The 64-year-old Leeds fan, whose family is from North Yorkshire, has been visually impaired for over three years. He was a board director in the NHS, but had to step down due to health issues, he is still a Director of international Recruitment firm, Smart Resource Solutions of Cambridge.
"Glaucoma, retinitis and cataracts, exacerbated by a stroke, led to sight loss," stated Hannah. "Suffering a major bereavement added to the challenges, but I learned new skills and developed broadcasting techniques while working with Dynamic, which has been positive."
Richard is known for his wry wit and has been a familiar voice on Yorkshire's Dynamic Radio on Sunday mornings for over six months. "I am grateful to be able to broadcast on Sunday mornings to a wonderful crowd in Yorkshire, despite some health challenges." I have to say those as a Leeds United and a Leeds Rhinos fan, I am looking forward to actually watching some matches.
The Sunday Radio Magazine is the perfect show to listen to while you have your breakfast. It includes news, film and TV reviews, clips of stand-up comedy and fun competitions. He is up with the lark at 7am on Sundays on Dynamic Radio, the Yorkshire-based digital station.
