A creative audio package I made for the BBC about the upcoming auction of Diana, Princess of Wales's Raleigh bike. With celeb bits and members of the public.

Playing On Raleigh Bikes - BBC Audio

A piece I wrote and produced for the BBC. In the week when non-essential shops re-opened, I went into Nottingham to see the effect the pandemic had had on the city centre, its shops, and people returning to its streets.

SPOILER ALERT: It wasn't very busy,

Nottingham - A City Out of Lockdown

The blossom is out, it's beautiful, and I was asked if I could make a package about it. So here it is - as broadcast on BBC Radio Nottingham.

BLOSSOM Report

Ahead of the BAFTAs - for which Steve McQueen's Small Axe has been nominated for loads of awards - I spoke to Lady Vee from the V Rocket Sound System. A pioneer of Lovers Rock in the UK - she shared what it felt like and what it means.

BBC - LOVERS ROCK Small Axe Package

A group of villagers have come together to stop the development of land owned by Highways England. Together they have formed a 200+ strong social media collective and managed to secure a Tree Preservation Order. But all is not done yet...

(BBC Package) SAVE OUR WOODS - Taking On Highways England

A package I wrote, voiced, and produced for BBC. The brief was this: there are falcons on a webcam at the top of the Trent University building in Nottingham. Can you make a package about it. 

I hope it's as informative as it is... well, about some falcons.

When the first T-Rex exhibition in over a hundred years came to Nottinghamshire, in the same house as Batman was filmed, I got to play.

BBC Package: T Rex Or Batman

A small, edited collection of audio I have narrated and produced for Blinkist and the BBC, focusing on children's entertainment and education.

We heard the baby's heartbeat again today. As described here, it would have been better to have heard it last week.

(These things always seem better in conception. The audio execution I mean; not the baby.)

This year I got to join GEM and be back doing radio across the East Midlands - I place I consider my adopted home. 
Here's a few bits from the various shows for my own audio time capsule.

GEM: The First Month

My first ever radio gig was with JK at Viking FM. My job basically involved following him around and being shy (good to see things have changed...) Along with Kirsty Moore (as she was then) we did this mock of "A Little Time" as a charity single which actually fetched £20 at auction (I think). Cringe away!

JK & Kirsty

As I've been using Alfie's bedroom to record, I thought it fair to interview him.
