I’m on the Beeb Books!

Last week I had the pleasure of receiving an email from the BBC letting me know I had been selected to join their Assistant Podcast Producer talent pool! Its been many a breast (and even a few butterfly god-forbid!) strokes the last year so it sure is good to see some waves being made and that I have perhaps reached the deep end (or is it the shallow end?). I have, on hearing the news, ofcourse slapped on a brand new cozzy and now it feels a bit like I’m waiting patiently by the diving board ready to jump. But I’m looking forward to bumping heads with some other BBC swimmers along the way. Onwards

"It’s week two and I already have a Podcast concept, a shape and am thinking about how to layer my podcast series so that it’s not just interesting to me, but makes compelling storytelling. Billie has a very astute watchful eye over the whole group’s developments and makes learning fun!"

Katie Whitehouse, Creative Music Manager, Songwriter and course participant of 'How To Make A Podcast'

"I loved being interviewed by Billie..I have to say [she] was adept at making me feel very at ease...she wasn't working to script but identifying pathways from our fast bubbling enthusiastic rendezvous-fest.  It was like talking to a lovely friend who was inquisitive but quietly prodding."

"This course has inspired and focused me in such an exciting way, I'm one of those people who has a million ideas and ambitions but struggles to manifest them, I feel totally supported in bringing this thing to life and I'm over the moon. Billie is warm, patient and really good at squeezing ideas out of her class. She's funny, practical and makes this process not only manageable but fun too. "

Clare Ferguson- Walker, Comedian and participant of 'How To Make A Podcast'

"Each week there is a perfect balance between exercises that get you straight into the heart of your project, discussions with the group and careful guidance from Billie. Billie makes learning fun!"

Katie Whitehouse, Creative Music Manager, Songwriter and course participant of 'How To Make A Podcast'

"I had so much fun being interviewed by Billie! I felt like we got really far in discussion in just an hour. She asked me questions that really made me see my practice in a different way, which was a really nice surprise!"
