Presenting & Hosting

Radio

I’ve definitely been infected with the disease most Radio geeks suffer with and I simply can’t leave it alone- I love live radio!

After (almost literally) banging down the doors at BBC Radio Derby in 2016 I’ve worked in a range of roles for both the BBC and for commercial stations, you can find details of my experience at the bottom of this page or hear my showreel with a tracklist here

BBC

Right now you can hear my sports show every Wednesday on BBC Radio Stoke 6-7pm, and you catch me presenting the pre/half time/post match Football shows too!

DPL

During the cricket season you can hear my commentary of the DPL- Disability Premier League- on the live ECB streams. (Disability sport, in particular cricket is a huge passion of mine!)

On Screen

This picture is of a particular career highlight: interviewing Malala Yousafzai after she watched The Pakistan Women’s cricket team during The Birmingham Commonwealth Games in 2022.

I love creating live on-screen content (if it’s last minute and with somebody so inspirational, even better!) and the majority of my experience is doing this during live sporting events.

Those I’ve worked with describe my style as high energy and fun, I believe one of my greatest skills is being able to be thrown in and then hold the floor and find the fun. I’m a safe pair of hands but you’ll often find me without shoes running around in the crowd!

Next, I’d love to use these skills in TV.

Podcast Hosting

My love for audio extends beyond radio into the equally dynamic world of podcasting. Audio is absolutely a medium that captures my heart.

I’m very proud to be a co-host of ‘Today with Tonies’- a daily podcast for children aged 4-6. It’s a high energy, fun “breakfast show” style listen full of games, education and a touch of silliness.

You can hear a sample and read all about it here.

Events

My love for ‘live’ makes me a big fan of hosting events, I bring fun, happiness and energy to the stage in what I would say is probably a vaguely professional way (just joking, ever so profesh!)

As well as sports events, I’ve hosted live music events and concerts too.

Scroll just a tiny bit to see more details of my experience.
