‘For someone who’s not normally nervous, I was very nervous.
‘I didn’t expect it to be easy, but it was okay. We’ll see how well it worked in June.’
The podcasts and videos will be about 20 minutes in length and posted on the Guernsey Press Politics Podcast feed, Guernsey Press YouTube channel and at www.guernseypress.com.
The newspaper will also publish at least one election supplement, where candidates have answered a number of written questions set by us, with the paper ahead of the election.
