In 2020 I started my own podcast, 'Student Radio Stories' where I began by talking about my experience and journey in Student Radio. Now in my podcast interviews, I talk with others about their radio journey, and they usually share tips and advice for those currently in student radio. I now have nearly fifty podcast episodes published on all major podcasting platforms - linked below for your listening purposes.

 

Presenting

Working on my own podcast has been a great way for me to develop and advance my presenting skills, some of which I had gained during my early experiences in student radio.

​

Interviewing guests 

Having a range of guests on my podcast from different personal and media backgrounds has extended the conversational element and interest for listeners while helping me to grow my confidence in interviewing people. Amongst this, I have researched my podcast guests in advance and learned how best to script questions, appropriate to their background. I have loved hearing about everyone's different radio journeys and speaking to others with a student radio background. I have personally found making this podcast really rewarding and I feel it has made them more interesting and engaging for my listeners.

Audio Editing

Creating my podcast has also allowed me to expand my audio editing skills, which I had to get to grips with from my very first podcast.

South Region on Air

In 2020, as some student radio stations were unable to broadcast from home during the pandemic 'Surge Radio' and 'Radio Sonar' worked together to create 'South Region on Air' allowing student radio stations in the south of England to broadcast and showcase their work to be broadcasted on Surge Radio; the TuneIn app, and the UniWaves app (where you can listen to all student radio stations in the UK). This allowed me to get episodes of my podcast aired on 'South Region on Air' every Sunday.
