Mike Mendoza airs his concerns on the future of Jewish radio

"There is a lack of financial support. There are a lot of well-meaning amateurs who try and take on the mantle and play radio, but just end up screwing it up."

Mr Mendoza is unlikely to be too concerned, however. Last week, after four years at TalkSport, he began his new job presenting a four-hour weeknight show on Play Two UK, one of playradiouk.com's 12 internet stations.

How's it going? "Surprisingly well," he says.

"We are not covered by Ofcom, and the show is totally unregulated - different to what I'm used to. We can do and say whatever we want."

Mr Mendoza says he was sad to leave TalkSport, where he was the weekend overnight presenter until the end of last month.

"I had a thoroughly good time there with a great following.

"My contract has expired and I was told that I didn't feature in the future views of the new boss."

Prior to TalkSport, Mr Mendoza spent 11 years at LBC. He has also worked for the BBC, Radio Mercury, Southern Sound and Spectrum Radio.

He lives on the South Coast of England.
