- What kind of callers the show wants
- How callers are screened
- What topics work best
- The importance of regular callers
- How the presenter and producer communicate during the show
- How much a phone-in presenter needs to share their own life with listeners

Vanessa has worked at Radio London since 2001. She also has a regular early morning show on Radio 2, and writes a newspaper column. She previously had her own talk show series on television and has appeared as a contestant on both Celebrity Big Brother and Strictly Come Dancing.
