I was the lead researcher on a 12-part science podcast series hosted by Dr Xand Van Tulleken and psychologist Kimberley Wilson. The series was so popular that it was recommissioned for a second series by the BBC while the first series was on the air. My favourite episodes were on serotonin and the nipples. You can listen to the nipples episode here.

My role was finding guests, extensively researching each topic, recording interviews that are broadcast quality, helping craft the script. The whole process ignited a love for research and made me want to go back to university (a tiny bit)! So if you need a dedicated researcher for your podcast series or documentary, I could very well be a good fit.
