BBC Radio Derby

Aleena Naylor's Morning Show

Entertainment

A mix of lifestyle, showbiz, consumer and food and drink features, with great guests.

Having arrived at BBC Radio Derby in the 1990s on a work placement, Aleena always fancied working on mid-morning as a producer, so went off to study journalism. 

But fate lent a hand and she arrived on the other side of the studio glass as a presenter. 

After almost three years on the lunchtime show, she was relieved to be able to eat her sandwich at a more leisurely pace, rather then getting indigestion during the one o'clock news. 

However, her passion for good food followed her into the programme, with regular appearances from guest chefs and celebrity cooks. 

In fact she's determined to celebrate the things that unite us all, from eating and sleeping to the place we call home, but Aleena believes the spice of life lies in the differences between us - and it's an area she's keen to explore. 

We thought her knowledge of Derbyshire and East Staffordshire was bordering on the encyclopaedic, but she says she's keen to expand it even further on the mid-morning programme. 

On Sundays, Aleena presents Take Two - a collection of highlights from BBC Radio Derby's last seven days. 

Outside of work Aleena and her partner are keen scuba divers, exploring wrecks and reefs around the UK coast and love to take their black Labrador long walks in the Peak.

The Burton man doing the Man v Horse Marathon & what will replace Home Information Packs?

Dave Thomas from the South Derbyshire Volunteer Centre explains to Aleena more about "speed matching" in Swadlincote.  It's like speed dating, but instead of finding love it's hope you'll find the ideal volunteering opportunity instead.

As the new government abolishes Home Information Packs or HIPs, Aleena discovers how home owners will still need an Energy Performance Certificate, if they're hoping to sell.

She chats to Alan Riley from Burton about his plans to take part in the Man v Horse Marathon in Wales next month.  Riding Misty over the 22 miles course across the Brecon Beacons.

Matt Barlow takes the radiocar to Sinfin Moor Park to learn more about the courses being run to by the BCTV to help unemployed people develop their countryside skills.

And Aleena gets the low down on this morning's spending cuts announcements from our political reporter Elly Zanyavitska.
