I produce and host podcasts for arts organisations, focussed on using audio content as way of inviting audiences to see museums and theatres as places which belong to them.
Recent projects have explored decolonisation, arts and wellbeing, and queer history.

Not True, But Useful
Cheek by Jowl
Every object in the Ashmolean has passed from hand to hand to reach the Museum. We uncover the invisible fingerprints left behind by makers, looters, archaeologists, soldiers, rulers, curators, and many more. These stories of touch reveal the ways in which the forces of conflict and colonialism have shaped Britain’s oldest Museum.
Fingerprints
Ashmolean Museum
From a magician who inspired Shakespeare, and poems woven into Japanese prints, to manuscripts illuminated with the ancient love story of Layla and Majnun, this new podcast series will delve into the poetry and literature hidden in the collections at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.
