In 2020 the world stopped for the Corona Virus. All of Alex’s Live shows were cancelled, newspapers sacked all freelancers and Alex was on £84 per week Universal Credit for the first time in his life.

During lockdown, Belfield’s life changed FOREVER! No-one could have anticipated the unprecedented success of Alex’s latest project.

With a LIVE phone-in on Sunday’s & Wednesday’s at 9pm and 70 videos a week – NOTHING compares to Alex’s unique and hugely popular content in the UK.

And to think, with ZERO BUDGET from his back bedroom, Alex has beaten EVERY single radio station in the UK simply by being true to himself. Bigger than Channel 4 News and Newsnight- VOR is a wake up call to old media who are over staffed, over paid and under performing!
