Who am I?

I am a podcast producer and content writer passionate about the world of podcasting. I aim to make informative and educational content about how to become a great podcaster. When I graduated from University, I was lost. I was lucky enough to chat with a huge range of people about their careers, and it was immensely helpful. I want other people to have the same chance!

My Show

What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?

What Do You Do? with Charlie MacKeith is exactly what I needed when I finished my Masters degree and had no clue what to do with my life. There are so many careers out there that you'd never know about without shows like these!
