I'm a radio presenter and have been involved in community radio since the age of 12, when I first started at Tulip Radio in South Lincolnshire.
Graham Stuart, a fundraiser for Tearfund, spoke to BBC Radio 2's Good Morning Sunday on Boxing Day 2021 about his challenge to row across the Atlantic Ocean.
The call was done live from the boat in the Atlantic via satellite phone.
This was a piece of coverage I had organised, briefing Graham via the Rannoch Challenge team and arranging a backup option of a call with Graham's wife should the connection have failed.

Whilst I was on work experience at BBC Radio Stoke, more information about the horsemeat scandal was released. I was asked by the station to create some VOX pops about people's meat buying habits and if they've changed since the information came to light.
This was broadcast as part of the BBC Radio Stoke Breakfast Show on Tuesday 19th February 2013.
