In 1998 I produced my first radio programme for BBC Radio Scotland - a documentary about the dance-band strike of World War II that closed the ballrooms of Edinburgh!
Since then I have made programmes on a huge range of subjects in the wide varity of formats - from documentaries and features to drama, comedy and music programmes.
My work has ranged from simple one-on-one interviews to complex big-budget projects for broadcast, CD, and web applications.
I have worked with clients in both the public and private sectors including the BBC, Channel 4, the Open University and the NHS. Some of their comments can be seen below.
Production Areas
I have produced radio and audio programmes in a huge variety of formats and styles, covering subjects as diverse as literature, legal affairs, stand-up comedy, social work, ancient Greek drama, and music.
Presenting / Reporting
I have presented a weekly popular science programme for the BBC as well as fifteen programmes for the Open University. I have contributed reports and interviews to a wide range of programmes on various BBC networks.
Interviewing
I have conducted hundreds of interviews on almost as many topics - from highly emotional personal stories, to current affairs, to complex technical subjects.
Audio Recording / Editing
I have an intimate knowledge of all the various technical aspects of radio and audio production. From microphone technique in location recording to complex, multi-channel editing using the latest digital editing tools. I have my own Pro-Tools editing setup.
