A veteran radio presenter born in the UK, Steve Johnston returned to the UAE after a gap of seven years in April 2007. During the seven years that he stayed away, Steve worked with the British Forces Broadcasting Service (BFBS). He toured with the BFBS, working in far flung places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo and Serbia. “The truth is, it was a bit like Good Morning Vietnam… an amazing experience,” says Steve about his adventures abroad. Now he finds himself back on familiar territory with not so familiar surroundings (so much has changed!) hosting The Classic Breakfast on Radio 2.
