Radio

Since starting at BBC Radio Cornwall in January, I have excelled at a variety of roles, from reporter to producer.

Alongside pieces that have been broadcast nationally and regionally, I frequently produce content that reaches +150,000 listeners in Cornwall.

Multimedia Projects

A lot of my radio packages have been part of larger projects that have been published on a wide range of platforms, from TV to socials.

There's a whole page about these if you want to check them out:

Packages

Alongside my other radio and digital duties, I produce multiple pre-recorded interviews, packages and bulletin clips each week for BBC Radio Cornwall.

Here are some of the things I've got up to... (go on, give them a click)

Veteran Therapy Garden

Part of a regular reporter segment I do. I organise and record two interviews (+ bulletin clips) for one show and produce a long-form package for a second presenter.

The Survival of Brass Bands After COVID

Researched, recorded and edited by me. Played out on the breakfast show and made it to the BBC News Cornwall page.

My First Ever Agricultural Show

Whilst helping out with lots of outside broadcasts at the event, I put together this package from scratch in under a day.

Voxing

I also record and edit various voxes for the Breakfast show.

I have built up a reputation for high-quality voxes as this feedback demonstrates:

One of my favourites to make was the Christmas Carol vox and it was sent up to the Central News Service so that all stations could use it (and it was chosen as a respin on lots of other Radio Cornwall shows)!

It received really positive feedback too:

Outside Broadcasts!

I have worked on countless OBs as a production assistant.

Here are some of the skills I've gained from these shows:

Research and recce of sites
Sourcing and prepping guests
Time and resource management
Technical skills on various broadcast equipment (see specifics here)
Interviewing on location
Frequent two-ways with presenter
Mid-show problem-solving and planning
Social media coverage of event
Gathering additional content for future shows

Live 10 min two-ways broadcast regionally

I'm very experienced in live two-ways, both in and out of the studio, but I am particularly proud of these 'Live Guides' for multiple reasons:

The speed and efficiency needed to research this quickly
How many people were listening across the South West (and Channel Islands for one of them)
The length of time I needed to remain engaging for
