Helping people in broadcast media careers and why it matters with Ben Anchor.
Well how do we best round off a series then to get the host interviewed instead - it was a suggestion by a business associate and long time friend Tom Southerton based in Japan. There was next to no preparation as I knew the format which I gave Tom, it resulted in a flowing interview and because I had many episodes under my belt it was my best answers!
You can find out more by going to ancast.co.uk or linkedin.com/company/ancast
or co-host Tom Southerton at tomsoutherton.com/home/
Sneak preview Audiogram: https://share.descript.com/view/cLunyvH1taW
During the episode we go through some talking points:
- When did you realise you were destined for broadcast media?
- Was there any flags or paths you followed that stand out
- Who gave you your first break or role in the industry?
- Have you been through freelance, full time, academic circles
- How do you find using connections versus solo applications
- Do you have or keep up any professional certifications?
- Did the global pandemic make a big difference?
- How have you found podcasting, will it continue?
- How else are you paying it forwards, anything in the pipeline?
- Looking back, what is a measure of success in your career?
- If you could tell your 18 year old self now - what would it be?

I have been working at the 'hard end' of broadcast independently for many years, if there's a major transformation or project needing a specialist - this is where I shine. A big fan of cloud, DevOps and agile methods - I like having enough technical grounding and balance it with communicating with people - of all levels.
It all started working in production and editing videos on a laptop to now helping deliver huge complex broadcast projects where I can turn up and not be phased by any of it - let me work with the team and get on with delivering it without supervision. You will see from my track record all of this and when you meet me I like to build up trust and demonstrate this by attention to detail, honesty and big picture mentality.
In my spare time I love culture, like to travel and explore where I can improve my photography hobby - also like to get involved in charity fundraising. If you want to reach out feel free to send me a connection here and we can talk.
Specialities - project management, business analyst, media solutions engineering, workflow specialist, technical consultant, agile, facilitation, training
