Cashman "Cash" Peters (born 6 June 1956) is a British author and broadcaster who writes on travel and spiritual matters, and has published two mystery novels.
After graduating from the University of Hull with a law degree he was employed at the High Court of Justice in London, and in his spare time worked as a reporter on Capital Radio's The Way It Is news magazine.
In 1987 his series Around the World in Ninety Seconds won the Best Light Entertainment Writer Award at the New York Radio Festival.
Until January 2012 he contributed a short show business segment on BBC Radio Five Live's Up All Night with Rhod Sharp, and appeared as a commentator on American Public Media's Marketplace.
[1] In 1979, Peters staged an elaborate April Fool's joke on Capital Radio's Sunday Soapbox, posing as a concerned listener who claimed the government planned to cancel the following two Thursdays to correct errors that had occurred due to switching the clocks back and forth every year to account for British Summer Time.
Forty-eight hours had accumulated altogether, and under "Operation Parallax" the following two Thursdays would be cancelled and the calendar would jump from Wednesday to Friday.
