BBC Radio Bristol

Weekend West

Ali Vowles brings you a blend of the day's news and entertaining guests.

Ali Vowles is a familiar sight to viewers of BBC Points West, where she works as a presenter and reporter in her home town of Bath.
Her career with the BBC began in Bath where she worked in a community unit. 
The airwaves beckoned and Ali joined BBC Radio Bristol as an early morning presenter.
Then came a move down south and into television as a BBC Regional News presenter and reporter for BBC Spotlight.
Now Ali's back in the West Country but she hasn't always worked in the media - one of her first jobs was as a trainee bus driver in Bath.

Tim McSweeney's Big Weekend

Despite being born on the "wrong side" of the bridge, Tim McSweeney considers himself a bonafide Bristolian.
He hasn't taken a traditional path into radio, spending time studying bats at university, answering phones in a call centre, and working as a painter and decorator.
Then, after answering his true calling behind the microphone, he started behind the scenes with BBC Radio Bristol's Saturday Sport team. 
Since then he has reported on the traffic and travel, presented his own Saturday show, and reported on all manner of stories for Breakfast.
He has also interviewed Julian Clary, played football against Gloucestershire Cricket Club and presented live from Glastonbury Festival.
