TalkSport Radio - Robyn Schonhofer

If Brazil and Beeky make coming into work bearable in the morning then our news team certainly make seeing the day out worthwhile.Robyn Schonhofer joined us in September 2005 and the office has been a brighter place ever since, as we now know we don’t have to look at Andrew McKenna’s mug all day instead.Robyn gives the impression she is some real posh totty but she’s really the salt-of-the-earth and as common-as-muck (joke Robyn!) Her language is enough to make a mechanic blush and some obscenities wouldn’t even make it into Jim Davidson’s routine – although, admittedly, it’s usually aimed at The Moose. In case you didn’t know by the tattoo on her forehead and the fact she mentions it every chance she gets, Robyn is a supporter of her hometown club, Brighton & Hove Albion, and can often be seen rubbing shoulders with The Seagulls’ biggest fans like Des Lynam’s moustache.

TalkSport Radio - Mike Bovill

Although most of the time you’re hard-pressed to find Mike Bovill’s whereabouts, you cannot doubt the influence of his presence at talkSPORT towers. Always wanting to be a sports journalist, Mike has definitely followed his childhood dream. Interviewing Jonny Wilkinson and drinking whisky with Ian Botham, his favourite sports person till 4am sounds like he’s enjoying the life of journalism at talkSPORT. Not quite Sir Matt Busby’s legacy looking over you at Old Trafford, or the eyes on Herbert Chapman’s bust following you around the corridors of Highbury, but we like having him around – if only to laugh at his ‘colourful’ attire. You can catch Mike throughout the week reporting from many sporting events.

TalkSport Radio - Lisa O'Sullivan

The lovely Lisa O’Sullivan is one of those people who never seem to wake up on the wrong side of bed.The newsreader hooked up with us uncouth mob in September 2005 to add a touch of class and used to wake up at an ungodly hour everyday to see the mugs of Messrs Brazil, Beeky and The Moose, she decided to jump ship to the more cushier afternoon slot, like the ruthless mercenary that she is.Lisa has covered virtually every major sporting event during her career including the British Lions’ tour to Australia in 2001, tennis at Wimbledon and the London Marathon.A former rugby player herself for Southend and the Irish Exiles, she’s planning to run the London Triathlon in 2006. Lisa is a secret petrol-head as well and regularly reports from different parts of the globe in the World Rally Championships.

TalkSport Radio - Ian Danter

'Dants' joined talkSPORT at the start of the 2004/5 season as a Midlands-based reporter for the Football First and Kick Off Shows. Prior to that point, he'd been at BRMB in Birmingham, commentating on Villa, Birmingham and Albion games for three years. BRMB was also the station that gave Ian his big break in radio when he became 'Eye In The Sky' travel reporter in 1998, before rapid progression saw him become the station's drivetime host within two years. His 'Barmy Brummies' show, with its mix of music and freshly written topical sketches and parody songs became hugely popular in Birmingham, and he repeated that shows success in 2004 when he move to Midlands rivals Heart FM to present 'Ian Danter's Sunday Carve-Up' - a show that was nominated for an NTL Commercial Radio Award that same year. He didn't win - but it was a nice bit of Beef Wellington he had at the awards ceremony.During his time at talkSPORT towers, Ian has been a regular contributor to H&J's show (Paul describes Ian as 'Voice Of Them All' and as having 'the definitive Trevor Francis impression') and he was also part of talkSPORT's commentary team for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany.Aside from his love of sport (football - particularly Birmingham City, cricket, ice hockey etc) Ian's other passion in life is KISS, the American Glam Rock titans. Such is Ian's devotion to the greasepainted goons that he plays drums for DRESSED TO KILL, the worlds longest running KISS tribute band (www.myspace.com/kisstributeuk) and he regularly dons the wig, make-up and platform boots to perform gigs around the UK and Europe! It's quite a show we're told.Ian lives in Solihull with his missus, Jo, and three cats - no kids yet!!

TalkSport Radio - Gilo

Every office has got one. Every office, from Land’s End to John O’Groats, has got the scourge of the working environment – the Gilo!They take many different forms: Some screech; some change the language settings on your mobile phone to Russian. Well, our one raises the bar by constantly chanting “citeh, citeh” whether the Manchester club win, lose or draw, or don’t even play for that matter.Yes, here at talkSPORT our very own Gilo is none other than, Gilo! If he’s not talking about how great Carlisle is he’s hiding prawns underneath someone’s keypad so they go off and leave an unpleasant funk.Gilo is like the Alfred Hitchcock of the radio world; putting in token appearances on many different shows on talkSPORT. And by ‘token’ we mean ‘forced entry’ as he often finds a way past our SAS like security blanket, consisting of a sleeping dog

TalkSport Radio - Faye Carruthers

The lovely Faye Carruthers originally hails from the football hotbed of Luton and is a mad Hatters fan.She studied Broadcast Journalism at Nottingham Trent University and then obviously said the right things to the right pair of ears as she landed a gig at Sky for her first job.After working at Sky Sports News for a stint, Faye decided to go back to her student layabout days and took off on a 14-month sabbatical to go travelling round Australia, New Zealand, South-east Asia and America.Upon her return to the UK she moved to Leeds where she worked as a freelancer for radio stations across Yorkshire and Manchester. Faye then returned to London 18 months later and started working at Sky News Radio – until she became embroiled in the now infamous “tapping” up scandal by their great rivals – us – but after Ofcom found us innocent of foul play, Faye has plied her trade with distinction since April 2007. She now goes through alarm clocks like Pete Doherty goes through rehab, getting up at the crack of dawn to read the breakfast news.Faye is a keen badminton enthusiast and loves to play a quick back nine as well taking trips to Kenilworth Road on the weekends. If anyone has any better suggestions for the way Faye can spend her weekends, please email her and let her know.

TalkSport Radio - Andrew McKenna

The Mac-attack assaults your eardrums every weekday afternoon with the news round-up for H&J, Rodney and Pablo.That’s enough ghetto talk. Andrew McKenna is a man with his finger on the pulse. If news is breaking, Macca is the one breaking it to you, the good listeners of talkSPORT.Macca has a finger in every pie. Whether it is major sporting events like the FA Cup and foxy boxing or general interest stuff like philately, Andrew is the one getting his hands dirty and in the thick of the action – lucky sod!Andrew couldn’t be any further removed from the old school hack at a typewriter stereotype. In his khaki shorts and hiking boots, he has an aura of Indiana Jones about him and you sense he likes being confined to his desk like a tiger does to a cage
