London Area, United Kingdom
-Creative, reliable and vastly experienced radio and podcast Producer/Exec (BBC, IMG, Times Radio, Wireless, Track Radio etc.) -Excellent audio editor/mixer -I have a varied CV, beyond radio/audio
Working on Track Radio Afternoons, producing Sonja McLaughlan Mon-Wed. Live producing, guest booking, script writing, audio editing, liaising with a great team and making it all work.
I produced Hugo Rifkind’s (ARIAS-nominated) show for four years until his weekday switch, then achieved record RAJAR reach for the slot on TR with Jane Mulkerrins, Geoff Norcott and Jon Harvey, and I now produce Rod Liddle. In his hands there is more news and less comedy, but still a nice mix of current affairs and culture. I work hard; to develop the format, keep production quality high, write great scripts and secure brilliant guests. I helped Hugo and others grow as live radio presenters and I provide the right content and environment for my presenters. I produced paid content for Google, AXA and Ancestry (which have been show sponsors), with the Ancestry campaign nominated for a Newsworks Planning Award. I am grateful that my colleagues at Times Radio recognise the quality of my work and the shows I produce.
