Helena Gallagher's career story so far is a great example of why I do podcasting. Having failed her leaving cert, her reaction could have been a negative one, however it was quite the opposite. It made the Arranmore native more determined to never experience that feeling again. After 17 years working experience at the BBC on production, Helena then went solo and decided to set up her own company HG Productions in 2009. With invaluable experience behind her, she has built up a successful business. Amongst her accolades she is a Gold International award winning documentary maker.  She has produced shows for TV and radio across Ireland and Scotland. Helena continues to come up with new ideas for documentaries, I talk to her about forming her own production company, her upcoming projects and much more.
