A minor remix of an interview with Kim Shillingham, BBC TV Science Editor, about the under-representation of femal presenters on high-profile science programmes on the BBC. I have edited it down to remove the few bits of content the interview actually contained. To hear what you are missing, head over to the BBC iPlayer and listen to the original on the PM news programme on Radio4, 2 October 2013.
This version is just a schoolbook example of how to display aggressive corporate arrogance in an interview and squeeze in as many hollow phrases between the umms and ahhs as possible.

Episode 9 - Delivering a first-class interview

In GBA 48 we get better acquainted with Emma. She talks broadcast journalism, interview techniques, radio, netball and more. We swap "Networking" stories and I go through all the shameful moments where I have met the right people and said the wrong things. 

This episode, with the one before it, and the one after it, forms a sort of accidental miniseries about  people who are involved in making audio. This wasn’t fully intentional but is welcomed nevertheless. I do programme the show for variety and there is still variety within these three episodes; however GBA is not always about people who exist in the audio world. 

I met Emma through http://said.fm/ which has morphed into http://thesupertimes.com/

GBA 48 Emma

Established and curated by speaker & storyteller Andrew Thorp, the Bank of Wisdom is an online collection of people's experiences, and the lessons they've learned. Like a bank, it allows you to make deposits and withdrawals. But in this case, the currency is stories, and the value is WISDOM!

Quite simply, we invite people to submit a short story in the form of an audio file. The story should relate to a SPECIFIC INCIDENT, rather than a broad reflection on a period of your life. The idea is that we all learn from experiences, but by tapping into each other's experiences the learning is compounded. 

We encourage people to engage with the stories they've been introduced to and, of course, to make a deposit of their own!

To submit a story, contact 'Andrew' via my business address info@mojoyourbusiness.com. I'll explain how it works.

We're especially interested in stories which contain the following themes:

resilience, inspiration, courage, team work, creativity, discovery, humour, marketing & communication and leadership.
