Available to hire
Hi, I’m Karen Marshall. I’ve spent over two decades in media, weaving together production, editing, and on-site broadcasting to create informative podcasts and engaging travel and traffic reports. From co-hosting and producing a CPD podcast to managing studio teams, I’ve built a track record of delivering clear audio and compelling content under tight deadlines.
I love helping presenters find their voice, shaping scripts, and troubleshooting technical hurdles so every episode sounds polished. When I’m not in the studio, you’ll usually find me exploring new projects, learning new tools, or out trail running.
