FRANCIS JOSEPH<\/h4>

FRANCIS \u201cSUPER FRAN\u201d JOSEPH prides himself as a mystery left-arm spin bowler. But not even he can figure out how so many of his victims actually succumb to drowning in honey!\r\nHowever, as an award winning journalist, who has reported extensively on some of the biggest local crime and court stories, including Privy Council hearings, he has played a vital role alongside law enforcement authorities in solving several major cases.\r\nFrancis is also a former calypso monarch at Trinidad Guardian. He held senior editorial positions there and subsequently at Newsday newspapers.\r\nHe also served as Press Officer at the Office of Prime Minister, and then as Corporate Communications Manager of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service.\r\nAlthough he currently resides in the UK, his patriotism remains rooted as a true Trinbagonian son of the soil, testimony of which is evidenced in his readiness to branch across the Atlantic via the internet to connect with Akina Lalla as a co-host on YOR high-powered afternoon drive show.\r\nThis is massive!\r\n<\/p>
