My love of radio started as a teenager, got me into university, gave me my first broadcasting job, and has been revived over recent years with an award-winning interview show and regular presenting on Classic FM.
The simplest form of broadcasting. Intimate and immediate…with the best pictures.
ABOUT MY RADIO WORK...
Radio is where my media career began, with the BBC in Herts, Beds and Bucks…..and it’s been recently revived with regular live stints on CLASSIC FM, on early breakfast, evening and weekend shows. What could be lovelier than playing and talking about the most gorgeous classical music ever written?! It’s an absolute joy…
A passion project in the last decade has been to research and present TRAVELLERS TALES on Premier Radio - a deceptively simple 30 minute weekly show, talking to a Christian believer about their life/faith journey. I've been privileged to hear are inspiring stories from incredible people, some well known, some not, of love, dedication, grace, courage, sacrifice and hope. Do dip into the archive of shows on soundcloud.
And it was great to win the Jerusalem Award in 2015 in their Radio Strand category, then named runner up in 2016. And runner up in the Interview of the Year category in the Sandford St Martin Awards 2016.
PAUSE FOR THOUGHT PRODUCER
Since 2010 I've been a Producer of Pause for Thought on BBC Radio 2, looking after many of the pre-recorded 'thoughts', broadcast in the overnight shows.
I'm proud to be part of the committed production team at TBI Media, and so fortunate to work with some fabulously inspirational thinkers from across the faith groups, on small but perfectly formed radio moments that, in our increasingly polarised world, feel more important than ever.
