Asher Gould
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Asher Gould (born 3 June 1971), or "Ash" as he is known to listeners, is a senior producer for talkSPORT Radio in the UK. He is a native of in Birmingham, England.
As of 2006, he can be found doing the 10pm to 1am late shift, and is most famous for his work on the James Whale Radio Show where he is the producer. Ash has been Whale's sidekick for many years, being the perfect foil for the mean slaphead's bile. However, at times you realise that Ash is the one pulling the strings. Ash's occasional banter makes the show, and is sometimes the only voice there, when Whale storms off. At other (frequent) times, Ash leaves the show on auto-pilot, and goes AWOL, wandering around Talksport's corridors, much to Whale's disdain.
Ash once co-presented with Tommy Boyd on the very popular Human Zoo . Ash's off-the-cuff remarks made him a very popular member of that team, and he went on to develop that style on the Whale show.
Other notable Ash attributes: A heavy but laid back brummie accent, sometimes long hair, supports Aston Villa, has the habit of smoking during shows and observes every religious holiday possible of all denominations.
Asher is the brother of media entrepreneur and broadcaster, Jonny Gould
