Audio producer, writer, speaker, changer of hearts and minds through storytelling

Woman with long brown hair and white blouse smiling

I come from a traditional journalism and broadcast background, writing for national papers, editing magazine features, and producing commercial talk radio.

I’ve done everything from researching entertainment features for daytime TV, to interviewing families about sensitive life stories, and directing rolling news during elections and terror attacks.

Now, I produce podcasts, write articles, and speak on stages, telling stories and sharing knowledge in a way that (if I’ve done my job well) makes you laugh, cry, think, and rethink.

This is me, hi

Conversations I like to have

Sex + relationships, mental health, physical health and fitness, culture, society, existential crises (!) etc etc...

Ultimately, conversations that will leave listeners and readers feeling more supported, less alone, empowered by knowledge, and with more permission to be themselves.

Current + previous productions

  • Anouszka makes delivering smart and engaging audio look easy (it isn't!). She's organised, efficient, detail-oriented, and has a natural talent for understanding the DNA of a brand which she then fiercely protects. She's a joy to work with.

    Ellie Smith – Liz Earle Wellbeing editorial director

  • It is no exaggeration to say that Anouszka is the best producer I’ve ever worked with. Meticulous on the detail, hard-working, creative and thoughtful, she brought a full set of skills to the table on our podcast projects at Orion. She is brilliantly collaborative but equally happy to be left to get on with projects and take control. I trusted her implicitly on everything we did and without doubt the success of our projects was in large part thanks to her creative input and brilliant skill working with talent. She lives and breathes podcasts and understands the market and the medium inside out. She is simply an absolute joy and I can’t wait to work with her on something again.

    Alice Lloyd – Original audio and podcasts at Orion – Making The Change / Giles Yeo Chews The Fat

  • Anouszka is a dream producer, she really listens and totally understands even the most niche audience for a podcast. She gets to the most important bits of a podcast: the stories, the heart, the narrative that you can feel in your gut. Anouszka goes above and beyond her role as a producer, and is always open to exploring thematic and emotional angles in your audio. My favourite bit about working with Anouszka is how she is so intuitively (it’s beautiful to experience!) helps you weave a compelling podcast and connect with your audience.

    Sangeeta Pillai – Creator and presenter – Masala Podcast

  • Right from the start, Anouszka just 'got it' and made the whole process an absolute joy. She comes with a huge wealth of podcasting, journalistic and technical experience and has a brilliant ability to listen to what you want to achieve and take you through the whole process, step by step; including creating project plans, recommending studio locations, drafting scripts and liaising with everyone involved sensitively and professionally, regardless of whether she was talking to patients, crew members or celebrities. Anouszka was able to pull everything together seamlessly, with incredible attention to detail, on time and to budget.

    Philippa Esson – London’s Air Ambulance marketing manager – Picking Up The Pieces

  • Working with Anouszka has been a joy; she is so lovely and sweet, as well as creative and utterly efficient. Thanks for the memories. It’s been the most enormous pleasure.”

    Richard and Judy – The Richard and Judy Book Club presenters

  • Anouszka is brilliant. She’s technically adept and creatively savvy. Super-efficient organising recording sessions, lovely with podcast guests and all-in-all a joy to work with. In fact, if you asked me to think of a bad thing to say I’d be completely stumped – and I’m not often lost for words. She should know: she’s a dab hand at editing too.

    Graeme Hall – Presenter – Talking Dogs with Graeme Hall

  • Anouszka is an absolute pleasure to work with. She’s super organised, efficient, professional, encouraging, flexible and most importantly helped us to create a brilliant podcast with incredible reviews.

    Nik and Eva Speakman – Presenters – Making The Change

  • Anouszka is the perfect producer: pro-active, passionate about our show, and with great attention to detail. I’m always immensely impressed by her good humour and unflappability in our fast moving world of live radio, and value her advice and skills. Plus she’s great company.

    Lucy Beresford – LBC sex and relationships show presenter

  • Anouszka’s work on Project Pleasure smashes those rather British taboos surrounding sex, relationships and intimacy. She is currently making some of the most important and timely audio I’ve heard in ages and she makes it so blooming well.

    Nicole Logan – Transmission Roundhouse station manager – Project Pleasure

  • It’s hardly surprising that sex is a popular subject, but where sex pods were once poorly made, often gratuitously salacious and had no discernible raison d’être, more recently we have seen a wave of shows that artfully explore what we get up to in bed. Welcome, then, Project Pleasure, a magazine-style show hosted by the radio and podcast producers Anouszka Tate and Frankie Wells that examines themes around sex and relationships that probably weren’t covered at school. It’s with a mix of candour and humour that our hosts discuss their own experiences. It’s significant that, while there’s a clear radio vibe to the series format, the subject matter and the level of detail mean it wouldn’t get near mainstream broadcasting, which is precisely why it’s needed.

    Fiona Sturges – Financial Times podcast reviewer – Project Pleasure

  • From first working with Anouszka in a boardroom with clients from the City, to now regularly working with her on Fearne Cotton's Happy Place, I've been consistently amazed by Anouszka's ability to produce. She possesses a rare combination of high IQ as well as EQ, allowing her to understand a wide range of topics whilst being able to connect with anyone. On top of that, she is great fun to be with in a studio!

    Basil Oxtoby - Studio sound engineer

  • We loved the range of subject matters in this show... It's the kind of show we want to send to every teenage girl in our lives, and wish we had when we were teenagers!

    Judges – British Podcast Awards – Project Pleasure

  • Anouszka sets a high standard in the world of journalism, both in terms of her eloquent and apt writing style, as well as her witty and distinct presenting style. When reading her work, the words spring off the page, while her voice carries flare when behind a microphone. Anouszka is able to engage with any topic, while always staying true to the Tate-angle, putting her own spin on the issue.

    Aliena Haig – Summit Radio programme controller

  • Anouszka is a pleasure to work with; she demonstrates flexibility, commitment and dedication. She is abundantly able to work independently and she exceeds expectations each and every time. Not to mention she's one of the best writers I have worked with.

Let’s chat

Working with me in audio, the only obstacle you might stumble upon is struggling to pronounce my name for the end credits*. But if that’s the only negative you come away with, I would suggest that’s a relatively good day at the office, so if you fancy a chat about a production, writing, or speaking project drop me a message.

*seriously, a number of my presenters have struggled to get their tongues around 'the producer, Anouszka', all independently coming out with 'The Produshka'...
