I’m a London-based podcast producer and ex-national radio journalist with a decade in broadcast and six years as a radio producer crafting audio-first stories. I’ve worked on-air and behind the glass with Chris Evans, Tom Allen, Ricky Wilson and Stephen Mulhern, then moved into podcasting where I’ve developed and produced series for publishers and brands before launching Bear Lane Productions — a production & consultancy company delivering limited-series shows from concept to launch. How I meet your criteria: - Strong editorial judgement & narrative craft I cut my teeth in local BBC and national commercial radio, structuring live and pre-produced segments into tight, purposeful arcs. In podcasts, I shape narratives from raw tape that deliver on the brief - whether that's to inform, draw people in or to entertain (and often all 3). Results: The Finally Found Podcast reached the UK’s number 1 podcast spot, Dear Horse World held a top sport chart position for weeks in the US and UK, and How Very Hannah charted in the UK podcasting charts on both Spotify and Apple. I’ve produced TLS Podcast, and developed World in 10 whilst at Times Radio in collaboration with Google, and I routinely handle sensitive interviews and breaking world news stories with clarity and care. - Expertise in editing, sound design & post workflows I lead end-to-end post: assembly, edit, mix, light sound design, QC, and delivery to spec for Apple/Spotify/Acast/YouTube - as well as work extensively with video for visual shows. I manage remote sessions (Riverside) and studio records, and I run a slick, documented workflow in Notion - from story beats and asset tracking to versioning and approvals - so everyone on each team knows the status of every episode at a glance. - Excellent communication & collaboration with high-profile talent I’m comfortable directing household-name presenters and first-time hosts alike - clear briefs, calm studio presence, efficient pickups, and tactful notes that elevate performance while protecting the host’s voice, producing them in real time. - Beyond the feed, I build growth into the production: social-first clip strategies and packaging that convert scrollers into listeners. Across clients, our shows generate millions of monthly social views, with clips engineered to drive episode plays and follow-through. - Off-air I understand the importance of out-of-home events. Recent highlights include How Very Hannah, which is currently on a headline podcast tour with AEG and had a Spotify billboard in Leicester Square, as well as numerous national press ops. I also produce The Culture Colonel which was nominated for a Podcast Award and ARIAS. - Credits include: The Finally Found Podcast; Dear Horse World; How Very Hannah; The Culture Colonel; TLS Podcast; World in 10.…I’m a London-based podcast producer and ex-national radio journalist with a decade in broadcast and six years as a radio producer crafting audio-first stories.
