Hi, I’m Rachel White, a UK-based versatile audio producer, podcast researcher, and content writer with a passion for telling meaningful stories that give a platform to voices worth hearing. With experience producing podcasts for Reform Radio and Podium.me — where I researched, produced, and edited episodes — alongside authoring articles for a university journal, I am skilled at turning complex topics into accessible, engaging content.
My work as a community radio presenter has honed my ability to communicate effectively and connect with diverse audiences. I have also built a readership of over 200 subscribers on Substack, where I share personal and culture-focused essays that resonate deeply with my community.
If you’re looking for a creative professional who can deliver impactful, well-researched content that inspires action and raises awareness, I would love to collaborate on your next project.

I spent a week in a place where the boat only left at 9am, 1pm, 3:30pm, and 5:30pm. Miss one, wait for the next. No alternatives, just… waiting.
The slow life looks beautiful in Instagram reels with white sand beaches, cosy cabins, aesthetic stillness.
The slow life in Río Dulce was waiting on docks and my brain refusing to stop calculating what I should be doing.
Wrote about the gap between the curated version and the real thing:
- Guatemala’s seismology institute (INSIVUMEH) advises against it
- The guides who summit daily say it’s safe
- Nearly 200 people died in Fuego’s 2018 eruption
- Half my group paid to climb anyway
- I stayed because my body was done, not because I was cautious
My latest piece examines a decision at 4,000 metres on Guatemala’s Acatenango: climb the active Fuego volcano or stay at base camp?
I explore the ethical complexities of adventure tourism and those moments where institutional warnings clash with local expertise and personal ambition.
The context:
This piece explores whom we trust in high-stakes travel decisions, the economics driving risky tourism, and what happens when our bodies make choices our egos are still debating.

I spent a rainy Saturday in December with the Manchester Green Party in Wythenshawe, and what I found was a political movement with serious momentum behind it.
Manchester Green Party membership has grown from 500 to 3,000 in recent months. Nationally, over 100,000 people have joined since Zack Polanski became leader last September. In Woodhouse Park, a historically Labour stronghold, the Greens won 59.2% of the vote in 2024.
I spoke with long-time members, new converts from Labour, and local councillors to find out what is driving this momentum. The picture that emerged is one of disillusionment with Starmer’s government, the need for a left-wing alternative, and a party that has quietly become, as one member put it, “a far more serious political operation.”
