Creative Audio Production

I’m a freelance audio producer and director working on audio drama with B7 Media, and branded podcasts with Fresh Air Production and Boffin Media. As Soundliness, I produced and presented the podcast series, Hot Flashes: Menopause Monologues in 2025.

For BBC Radio 4, I directed B7 Media’s The Truth About Phyllis Twigg, the story of the uncredited first radio dramatist, starring Tamsin Greig and Rory Kinnear, broadcast on Christmas Eve 2025, 103 years to the day of the original live broadcast.

Producer credits include Theatre of the Damned – inspired by a true story set in 1920s Paris; Greenborne – a radio soap opera and Harry’s Home featuring Phil Davis, about a family coping with dementia. For Audible, I co-produced the docudrama The Space Race, the psychological thriller series The Effect plus multiple audiobooks. Credits for BBC Radio 4 include the courtroom drama Barred, and the nine-part Indian saga Mahabharata Now.

Previously I was a Producer for Comedy Central UK responsible for producing two of the UK’s first comedy podcasts; Robin Ince’s Show and Tell and Utter Shambles.

I was also co-producer and dialogue editor on the Wondery+ audio series Unsinkable, starring Brian Cox, John Malkovich and Thomas Brodie-Sangster.

I currently presents a weekly show on Soundtrack Radio, plus writing and performing in comedy sketch podcast, Listen Through the Brown Window, which won Best Scripted Podcast at the Golden Lobes Comedy Podcast Awards 2026.

I’m based in Chelmsford – the birthplace of wireless – mostly working from my garden office and studio.

VOICEOVER

I’ve been voicing professionally since 1997 when I started in radio as a traffic reporter. Since then I’ve voiced everything from commercials to continuity, though I’m probably best known for the viral video, Porn Sex vs Real Sex: The Differenc es Explained with Food which has had nearly 20 million views – so far! It’s funny, it’s informative and it’s definitely not suitable for work.
