About Me

Hi I'm Susi Oddball, You might wonder why i have such a strange name...it's in my nature, but there's a good reason for it. I have been a clown Juggler for 25 years, and the name was first used for my company called Oddballs Juggling company , which was based in Islington London. It still exisits in the form of retail outlets selling far more than just juggling equipment.I now live in Brighton and co-produce a exciting Breakfast program for RadioReverb inviting a variety of guests including muscians, curators and undertakers. A show to keep you rivited in your bed, whilst curing your hangover, or producing a headache depending on your state of health. Expect Jimmy Hendrix one minute and Beethovan the next. We love to see people participating as it is community radio, the more the merrier ..I'm also a gardener and a mum...
