Hi, I'm Allan Glen. I'm an experienced broadcast journalist with more than 14 years' experience of working at the BBC (2002 to 2017), where I used Final Cut Pro and Radioman to edit and produce news packages for broadcast. I also reported from live events and produced programmes, including co-presenting and driving the desk for a music programme at the BBC. Beyond broadcasting I taught podcasting and video journalism at BIMM and the University of Sussex (from 2017-2021), using Adobe Audition and Adobe Premiere Pro. This involved running workshops for undergraduates and postgraduates and helping them launch their own podcasts and video channels. I continue to explore podcasting, video journalism and digital newsroom production, sharing what I’ve learned with colleagues.
