WADUP, co-director

WADUP was started by Irit Pollak and myself. It is a storytelling platform we run alongside young creative producers. We work with young people across the globe to produce their own podcast episodes and encourage other young folk to speak up.

Radio stories I’ve produced

Fbi Radio, All The Best:

Wouldn’t Do It Again

Laura Brierley Newton has always known that before their mother, their dad - John - had another wife, Susie, and they remain good friends. As Laura got older they learned Susie and John had an open marriage. It was the 70s and that was, apparently, what people did. So Laura sat down and asked their dad about it. And as soon as Susie got wind of it, she called up and asked if she could tell her side of the story. Turns out, that’s not quite how it went.

Whale Stories

Stories of whaling in the Southern and Pacific Oceans with Laura’s dad – John Newton, the author of A Savage History. We had him tell all our favourite whaling stories – stories of sperm whales as far as the eye can see, whaling boats alongside the First Fleet, baby whales breaking hearts, killer whales being border collies.
