Radio Gaga

It's funny how you graduate and spend months looking for work and worthwhile experiences, then suddenly everything comes along at once. I am now working at Imperial, where I did my Masters, on media for a project that tells stories about the future of technology. This unexpectedly includes being involved in producing videos for the project, which is about as fun as science communication gets for a geek like me - today I spent the day interviewing an academic at a recycling plant in West London. I shall post some videos when they are all polished and pretty.

I did a two week placement at Whistledown Productions mainly working on Radio 4's wonderfully journalistic Feedback. I'm hoping to make some BBC radio magic with them mentoring me.

Last but oh-so not least, I recently completed a Live Radio project at the Roundhouse. It was about making live magazine radio shows for young people; imagine Radio 1 at its absolute best. This the area of radio I have had near to no experience of making but listen to all the time, so it was truly eye opening and exciting. The project culminated in 4 radio shows about Roundhouse's Rising Festival weekend which showcased new musical talent. 

This is a package I produced about the amazing artist Ophelia:

And here is the show I co-presented (eek):
