Rubbish broadcaster on radio set fire to a hidden mike (9)
I believe the answer is:
litterbug
'rubbish broadcaster' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'radio set fire to a hidden mike' is the wordplay.
'radio set fire' becomes 'litter' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to a hidden mike' becomes 'bug' (I've seen this in another clue).
'litter'+'bug'='LITTERBUG'
'on' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for litterbug that I've seen before include "Wrapper dropper?" , "Bad citizen" , "One likely to drop" , "One leaving papers around" , "Trash dropper" .)
