With my company Bespoken Media, I help businesses and organisations harness the power of podcasts and audio to support their brand and promote their messages.

I set up Bespoken after 17 years at the BBC. I have won numerous awards for audio production, and have successfully developed, pitched, and produced documentaries and features for BBC Radio 4, Radio 1, the World Service, Five Live, and Radio Scotland. I pride myself on my creativity and idea generation. I am an experienced, warm and confident on-air voice.
