Making Christmas radio sound effects – In August

Over the years I’ve been emailed by many people asking me how I get the ideas to put radio sound effects together.  It’s something I find quite enjoyable so ideas come naturally.  I’m an imaging producer at heart so I make elements that I would use myself.  There’s nothing better than trying out a sound [...]

“We’re Still Number One… AND WE WANT TO SHOUT ABOUT IT!”

Reignite your creativity

I heard on the radio earlier this week that cigarette vending machines have been banned in England. This is great news as it stops under 16s getting easy access to cigarettes.  I produced a video for the British Heart Foundation two years ago to highlight their campaign to get the vending machines banned from pubs.

Radio jargon explained

Radio jargon explained

There are so many terms and much jargon in the radio industry.  When I first started out in radio I was bombarded by words which I didn’t understand.  I just nodded and tried to work out what the hell my colleagues were talking about.   So to save you the embarrassment of not knowing or [...]
