Amanda Shires, The Tabernacle London 9th June 2026 It’s surprising just how many artists you see perform who, despite their musical genius, can’t talk to an audience. Sometimes you can feel like an uninvited guest at a party who the host is trying to ignore. Amanda Shires is not one of those artists. You get the distinct impression too, that she is a very good party host, and any uninvited guests would feel more than welcome. As the regular house band performs to a distracted

Would you want to work here? I work in news where there are hundreds of cliches, but job adverts are also full of them. Below are some of the most common and what I think they really mean. A Competitive Salary We will pay you the minimum we can get away with. Salary Based on Experience We are looking for the cheapest hire. A Team Player This is a cliquey place. Deal with it.

The football World Cup will attract thousands of casual fans that are not used to its lexicon As the football World Cup approaches, the thought of 104 games featuring 48 teams across five weeks, will fill many people with dread and see them running for the hills and the (relatively) safe haven of Netflix, Amazon Prime etc. For football fans like me, it's time to plan when you might actually get some sleep. But the inbetweeners are those that will watch some of the games and w

I am delighted to be teaching more radio and podcast courses at City Lit in London during 2026.

They are great for those wanting to learn about radio and podcast, and can be hugely helpful to those working on corporate podcasts. You will learn about writing, structuring content and creating links as well as engaging audiences

When Manchester City 'scored' in the final minute of a Premier League game last season at Liverpool, there was much anger at it being ruled out after a video review. According to the laws of the game the right decision was made, but there are strong arguments to say the 'goal' should have stood. To some people it was following the letter of the laws too strictly. Being a pedant essentially. When I worked at Sky News there was a certain colleague who'd send out almost daily em

Sometimes delayed gratification is seen as being spiritual Ok you smutty click-baiters, this headline has drawn you in because you thought I would be writing about Sting and some of his recommendations around the bedroom. Sorry to disappoint you, but this is about my advocacy against today's binge culture and why waiting for something brings extra joy (stop it! I said it's not about THAT). When I was a kid Christmas Day had a certain routine, one that amazes people when I tel

One of the loveliest things people said when working with me was that I knew people's skills well and matched them to the right tasks but also that everyone who worked with me would improve. Below are recent and long-term clients who I would recommend for work in journalism and content production.

Spring and suimmer is when many media students look to find placements and internships for the next year to gain valuable experience in the industry. It is crucial to get those 'air miles', as I call them, and learn how things are done in the industry. This process should get you to meet new people, develop new skills and gain insight into the way people produce content and target certain audiences. There are many great schemes that are run in ways that offer huge value. But

A-listers tend to be available only when they have something to plug I was very interested to read the largely cool reviews of Claudia Winkleman's chat show. One article suggesting her 'hot streak' of success has come to an end. One of the main issues has been the timing, when the Hollywood red carpets are less well trodden and awards season means A listers have other distractions and commitments. Last week's show had three actors I'd never heard of and Josh Widdicombe. When

As a huge sports fans there are many events and moments that are must-watch. Whether it’s England in the Ashes, England's football teams at major tournaments or Reading competing for a trophy. OK, I admit that last one rarely – if ever – happens. Whilst all of them demand my attention when they happen, without doubt my favourite annual sporting event is golf's Masters. Each April, the Sunday night final round is essential viewing. So much so that it is in my calendar at the s

Creating a CV (or resume) is something we often do with very little guidance. Sometimes the advice and guidance is too generic. If you are working in media, your CV needs to work in that sector. Here are some simple layout and content tips that will help you get started or refine what you have already. Keep it to one page - if you can. Even though that might seem hard if you have been working for a few years with different companies, recruiters prefer a single page. However,
