I love stories that are offbeat or unusual in some way. Funny, surprising, all that good stuff. Mostly I like to tell personal stories without any pomposity and a good dose of humour.- Editing

About Chris
An Indie Producer in every sense of the word. It's just me! I have produced stories for a number of people, from the British Film Institute to Audible, Absolute Radio, BBC Radio 4 and Sony. So far I've made mostly non-fiction pieces, with a strong focus on personal stories. My work has been described as tender, evocative, warm and playful.

SoundCloud
As well as 'work' work, I also make stuff just for the hell of it. On my SoundCloud page you'll hear a seventy year old woman talking about her Tetris addiction, a whole bunch of jokes, an unfortunate event, some time-travelling advice, and a time-travelling phone call (I like time travel).
Revolving Door
I produced this piece for the KCRW 24 Hour Radio Race... and it made it to the final!
You're All Idiots
I just wanted to make something about Bob Dylan. So I did. I spoke to Absolute Radio presenter, and podcaster, Ben Burrell about his love for Bob Dylan.
The View
One day you're in a wardrobe, the next you're up a hill!
Trich
"When I was eleven or twelve years old I started pulling out my eyelashes..."
My friend Kyla suffers with Trichotillomania. We made this together in the hopes that other sufferers might feel seen.
Jay Kogen Interview
One of my proudest moments! I got to speak to Simpsons writer and producer Jay Kogen. This is why I love podcasting. Anyone is allowed to do it. You can just start a podcast and all of a sudden you're talking to the writer of your favourite TV show!
Tell Us a Joke!
Life can be bleak. Here are some jokes.
Listening to the Dead
[Producer]
Best-selling crime author Lynda La Plante digs deep into the fascinating world of forensic investigation. The six-part series reveals how plant regrowth can be used to track a killer’s path months after a crime was committed; how a fly on a wall can be more than an observer; why the "sibling defence" can unravel DNA evidence; and why a dog’s nose can sniff out cases of arson that the scientists miss.
Time to Listen
[Editor & Sound Designer]
A long-running series made for Absolute Radio, Time to Listen is about opening up the conversation around mental health. Musicians and comedians share songs that soundtracked significant moments in their lives relating to mental health issues.
Leonardo: The Official Podcast
[Series Editor]
I was the editor for Leonardo, a companion podcast for Amazon Prime's drama of the same name. The podcast took an in-depth look at the truth behind the series, talking to cast & crew and historians to get a deeper understanding of the man himself.
Short Cuts
I produced a very short, very silly weather report for Short Cuts. It was fun!
