Radio in Colour

In November 2020, in response to the ongoing conversations about the lack of diversity and inclusion within the radio industry for Black and Minority Ethnic individuals, I created and produced Radio in Colour. This podcast serves as a platform to amplify the voices of underrepresented professionals in radio, sharing their experiences, challenges, and triumphs.
Radio in Colour not only highlights the obstacles faced by BAME individuals in the industry but also celebrates their inspirations and achievements. Through insightful interviews, the podcast provides valuable guidance and motivation for aspiring broadcasters, producers, and creatives who want to break into the field.
The first series featured a remarkable lineup, including Amber Sandhu, Andrew Charles, Kaylee Golding, Mary Mandefield, Shahlaa Tahira, and Swarzy Macaly. Each guest shared their personal journey, offering practical advice and stories of resilience to help inspire the next generation of talent.
