The Cardiff City Phone In (CCPI) is nearing the end of its 20th year! The show launched in the season that Andy Campbell famously got the goal that elevated Cardiff City into the Championship.
The series producer is Steve Johnson, senior lecturer, at the University of South Wales. Steve has involved a high number of his students, as presenters, contributors, and production staff, over the years. Originally broadcast from the Treforest campus, it then moved to the Atrium, Cardiff and now goes out as a Facebook live stream, on Monday evenings from 7-8 pm.
Guests have included many current and former Cardiff City players and senior staff such as Dave Jones, Lennie Lawrence, Peter Ridsdale, Sam Hammam and many others. The show also goes out on three local community radio stations and has been sponsored by significant companies, such as Betfred, Mooneerams Solicitors and Hafren Roofing, in the past. In this interview, Steve, is interviewed in a USW teaching room by final year, BA Sports Journalism student, Chris Stonadge.
