You may ask yourself… 

… well? How did I get here?

(If we’re going to work together you should know that I’m very opinionated about music and I litter my communications with references to favourite songs. See above!)

The story of how I started working as a podcast editor is a long one.

But here’s the short version:

  • As a music obsessive from a young age, I’ve been involved in studio and home recording projects since my teenage years.
  • After leaving university with a degree in English and Music, I fell into a 20-year career in arts marketing. I eventually realised that one thing that came naturally to me was writing for different audiences, and editing other people’s words to better reflect what they intended.
  • Around this time, I started editing video content in personal and professional settings.
  • Halfway through my career, I was diagnosed with a chronic health condition. Sometime after this, I began writing about my health experiences online.
  • Eventually, I stepped away from marketing manager roles when full-time work got too much.
  • Around this time, a US website that I wrote for held a conference in Philadelphia, so my wife and I went for a long weekend (from the UK). I met a fellow contributor who had her own podcast, and we stayed in touch.
  • Later that year, she was complaining about her podcast editor. I asked what it involved, and when she told me, it seemed like the ideal way to use all of the skills I had – video and audio production, combined with editing people’s words to make sure that their messages come across clearly.
  • I said, “I could do that!”
  • The Podcasting Editor has been my full-time gig since 2019.

    The Strategic Advantage

    My 30+ years of studio experience mean I hear audio problems others miss – and I know exactly how to fix them.

    From managing complex multi-track sessions to understanding how music affects emotional response, I bring a producer’s ear to your podcast.

    As a marketing-savvy audio and video strategist, I don’t just edit podcasts – I optimise them for growth using 20+ years of marketing expertise.
