Podcast, YouTube & Social Video/Audio Expert | Ex-BBC/NPR

I help businesses, professionals and creators turn raw recordings into polished, professional podcasts, YouTube shows and social media content. I bring more than a decade of specialist experience in podcast and video production, editing, post-production, launch strategy and distribution — backed by a career in professional broadcasting with the BBC and NPR. What I can do for you • Podcast production: editing, audio repair, mastering, music, intros/outros, show notes and publishing • YouTube production: long-form editing, graphics, captions, audio mastering and channel-ready delivery • Social media: Reels, Shorts and clips for Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and YouTube • Podcast launches: format development, equipment/workflow advice, hosting, RSS distribution and platform setup • Content strategy: episode structure, interviewing, audience development and promotion • Audio & video restoration: improving poor recordings, inconsistent sound and problematic video • Publishing & distribution: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and other major platforms • Audience analysis: performance data, marketing strategy and sponsorship guidance I work with clients ranging from individual professionals and small businesses to established organizations, producing content covering law, HR, non-profit advocacy, mental health, business, sports and professional services. My work has appeared on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, CNN and BBC News. Why clients hire me I spent my earlier career as a BBC World Television producer and NPR radio producer, later moving into executive leadership. That means I don't simply know how to operate editing software — I understand storytelling, editorial judgment, interviewing, pacing and what makes professional content work. I can work closely to your instructions or take responsibility for editorial decisions when you want someone experienced enough to simply get the job done. You can also expect: • Fast, reliable communication • Same-day responses to questions and production issues • 24-hour turnaround when required • Professional editorial judgment • Consistent broadcast-quality audio and video • A dependable long-term production partner rather than simply an editor Production tools I work extensively with Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Audition, Riverside.fm, Descript, ElevenLabs, Canva, CapCut, Libsyn, Buzzsprout, Zencastr, Zoom and Headliner. I also teach podcasting and video production at Georgetown University, helping emerging media professionals develop the same production and storytelling skills I use with clients. And if your project needs narration, I offer a mature, authoritative British voice-over style suitable for documentaries, corporate productions, podcasts and professional video. Whether you need someone to launch a new show, rescue an existing production workflow, edit individual episodes or manage your podcast and YouTube production on an ongoing basis, I can take the technical and editorial workload off your hands.
