Dai began his broadcasting career as a full time radio host in January 2007. Invited to be a daytime host of an easy listening music show, he seemed to fall into this role as a natural! Able to "chat with" rather than "speak at" his listeners, Dai's show on the community radio station CJHR 98.7 Valley Heritage Radio (VHR) has been popular from day one.

From 10 am to 4 pm Monday to Friday, Dai's show includes news, sports, and weather updates. There is "Taste of the Valley" - a popular daily recipe section - and a large range of popular music from the past and present. "Our station has a huge variety of musical genres and special interest shows, and it is a tremendous privilege to be part of such a success as VHR" says Dai.

The people of the Ottawa Valley have welcomed us onto the airwaves, and we will be keeping them company in their daily lives for many years to come. Dai's friend Wil is a daily source of hilarious anecdotes on his show, and with two thumbs on his left hand, a flat head, and webbed feet, he is illustrated on the back of Dai's third CD, "Three Thumbs Up".

"Dai’s talents first came to my attention when I saw him perform at a local entertainment production, in which he was able to showcase his range of talents from the good singing voice, the easy-going manner of a host, and his sense of humour. It was not long before we had him contributing to various light entertainment television programmes with his hallmark rural humour and clever songs. His flexibility was always an asset as he was able to combine the three facets of raconteur, singer, and comedian into a wholesome ‘family-friendly’ package." - Rowena Griffin (Senior Producer HTV Wales/Cymru)
