About me

Hello!

I'm Tori and I present the show 'Surf and Turf' which will brighten up your day with environmental chit-chat, some lovely guest banter and great tunes.

I have been proud to bring all things creepy, crawly, chirpy and beautiful from nature to your ears. You may recognise my name from the 'Ecobites' feature in 2010 which then evolved into the wonderful 'Ecobites- Creature feature'.

Check out the 'Creature feature' page for your dose of local wildlife facts and to view some great pictures of the stars of the show!

So, a little bit about me...I love the sea and sunshine...so much that I would go as far as to say I photosynthesise in the summer, I'm always looking at the bright side of life, and (yep, you guessed it) I'm a bit of a nature geek.

If you have any requests or just want to say hi, find me on twitter at @Tori Orchard......tweets always welcome!

Creature Feature 'Ecobites - Creature Features' are a series of local wildlife profiles put together to brighten up your busy mornings and can be found on Matthew's Thursday 'Talk of the week' show...so tune in! Once a week, you can now boast to your friends with a 'Did you know?!' about the flora and fauna of our beautiful peninsula...and then get out there and experience the wonders of nature first hand.   Copyright Mark Fox, 2011 Episode 1 - The 'plight' of the bumblebee...
Surf and Turf Surf and Turf is a fantastic environmental show which has finally earned it's LIVE status! From 21st Jan 2012, it goes out every Saturday morning from 11-12 with my co-presenter Lisa, AKA The Chicken. In the hour we manage to find in the depths of our radio-heads enough to amuse you with about all sorts of environmental or seaside(y) chit-chat and some great music! So, tune and listen to everything eco and surfy, giggle at the rubbish we talk about and soak up the rather eclectic mix of music....
