A little about me...

✨

Hello! I'm Joe. My journey into the world of media technology began from a very young age. Growing up, me and a couple of friends would play around with an old 4 track cassette deck, recording podcasts and make-shift radio shows in my childhood bedroom. Radio and music have always been special to me, and eventually I went to College to study Radio and TV Production, where a once great tutor; now great friend, taught me a lot about the world of Radio and Media Production. During my time I was fortunate enough to gain some amazing opportunities to work on outside broadcasts for various events (the most notable being live visuals for the Magic of Motown.) I learnt how to work as a crew to build, maintain and produce great things during my time there, and it gave me a great understanding of how widely used industry standard tools are put together and used.

I went on to study Audio Production at the University of Lincoln, and during my time there quickly got involved in the local community campus radio station. During my three years I went from Technical Manager to Station Manager, and completely re-designed the front end sites, oversaw various playout changes and upgrades, and hosted and produced many radio shows, including introducing a visual radio 'live lounge' type program towards the end of my run. - all with very interesting and fun technical challenges!

Since 2022, I have been working full-time at the BBC. I have performed a variety of different jobs from IP operations for BBC Sport to working within Audio teams for various productions, to my current role of broadcast operations within media technologies.
