Writing and speaking
Conversations I like to have
I completely adore getting stuck into other people’s stories and crafting them in audio, but I also have my own thoughts and opinions about the below sometimes (quite a lot of the time)...
Sex and relationships, mental health, physical health and fitness, culture, society, travel, the audio industry (!) etc etc.
Let’s start conversations that will leave audiences and readers feeling more supported, less alone, empowered by knowledge, and with more permission to be themselves.

Writing
I have a degree in the history of sex, sexuality, and gender, so I write a lot about identity, relationships, mental health, and questioning cultural norms, sugar coating sometimes difficult-to-swallow reality pills with trademark dry wit. I love writing pieces that straddle the line between punchy and thought-provoking (fun for me when I’m writing), and compassionate and caring (good for society when you’re reading).
I’ve also been sent all over the place as a travel writer, and as delightful as it is being plied with Prosecco and exploring hidden corners of a foreign city, the real joy for me is exploring the colourful language I can use to make readers feel they were there with me once I’m back at my desk.
Want me to Have Pithy Opinions about the world we live in, or for me to write about a particularly special place in the world? Get in touch!

Speaking
I’m obsessed with people who are obsessed with their area of expertise, so it’s always a real privilege to be on a stage throwing thoughtful ideas around with academics, storytellers, and thought-leaders.
With my background knowledge of sex education, and predilection to over-analyse and over-share my own life, I’ve spoken on panels about everything from mental health at Cheltenham Science Festival, to penises at London Met University, and sex toys at cabaret bar The Box.
I also chat about making brilliant audio at places like The Podcast Show (sorry, it’s all getting a bit meta).
I’m a journalist, and award-winning presenter too, so am equally happy to anchor your event as a host!
If you’re looking for someone to wax lyrical about sexuality or audio (a classic combo), get in touch.

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'...
