David Gerard on Radio 2
Wikipedia’s volunteer UK press contact David Gerard was on BBC Radio 2 last Tuesday Thursday discussing Wikipedia. The phone call with Chris Evans live on air lasted around five minutes. David put in a good plug for much-needed cash after Chris asked whether, “like the BBC, Wikipedia would be free-to-air forever”. David also gave a brief history of Wikipedia’s founder Jimmy Wales, prompted by Chris saying “He’s in China today, or…somewhere?”. I think it was Japan actually, but yeah. Good job! As they say, all publicity is good publicity.
He sounded really Australian on the radio. Yes David, I know you are Australian, but it sounded much more pronounced than when I heard you speak at the January London meetup - just an observation! (That’s a good thing 
)
Update: Sorry, Thursday - not Tuesday!
