Peter Donaldson (born 30 April 1981) is an English podcaster and

Xfm, and the Alex Zane breakfast show and is currently one of the presenters on The Football Ramble, Wrestle Me and The Luke and Pete Show podcasts. Donaldson has cohosted the Abroad in Japan podcast with Chris Broad
since 2018.

Career

Donaldson moved to London in 2003 after studying Multimedia Media Design at University. After working as a graphic designer for three years, he gained work experience, and in turn full employment, on The

Xfm. As a radio producer, Donaldson produced shows for the likes of Adam and Joe and Danny Wallace
.

In 2009 Donaldson could be found presenting solo on

Xfm from 1am-11pm Monday–Sunday.[citation needed
] He also moved from being a producer on the Football Ramble podcast to a full-time host, something he continues today.

Donaldson later hosted the evening show of Absolute Radio, the Rock and Roll Football Matchday Warmup, as well as covering red carpet events and interviewing bands at sessions and festivals for the station. In March 2018, it was revealed that Donaldson would replace Dave Berry as the presenter of Absolute Radio's Hometime Show (due to Berry replacing Christian O'Connell as the presenter of Absolute Radio Breakfast Show.)

On 12 December 2019, Donaldson announced he would be leaving Absolute Radio after nine years.[1]

He also voiced the character Jerry Brockhaus in the 2008 video game Zak McKracken: Between Time and Space[2] and characters in The Journey Down Part 2.

Podcasts

In August 2014, Donaldson founded podcast production company Stakhanov Industries alongside fellow Rambler Luke Moore, and Jonathan 'Lord Ramble' Teague.[3]

In 2018 Donaldson created the podcast Abroad in Japan, with Chris Broad.[4] The podcast focuses on life in Japan. According to them it's "probably the best way of learning about life in Japan without actually being in Japan", which Chris Broad mentions in the intro of the episodes.[5]

Donaldson also co-hosts popular podcast 'WrestleMe' with

WCW pay-per-views, as well as other notable moments from WWE history.[9]
