BBC Radio Devon
As part of an Exeter College/BBC Radio Devon partnership, I co-wrote and produced several documentaries. These were broadcast as part of teenage magazine show "90 MPH"!
- Censorship (MP3)
- This documentary tackles the subject of censorship in the mainstream music industry and how recording artists such as Madonna, Prince and George Michael, and their labels, exploit alleged deviant behavior for profit. This ideology is as prevalent now as it was in 1991.
- Neighbours (MP3)
- This concerns the popularity of Australian soap opera Neighbours and its appeal to UK audiences. At its peak Neighbours garnered over 18 million viewers on terrestrial television.
BBC Radio Four
- The Gemini Apes
- In 1998 I worked as a studio assistant on Dirk Maggs' The Gemini Apes, an original family drama starring Christopher Lee, and produced for BBC Radio Four. Fellow Star Wars fans may like to know that Garrick Hagon (Biggs Darklighter) also starred. My role included foley and sourcing original and pre-recorded material from The Soundhouse's extensive library.

Web Design
- a digital portfolio BY John Hood
- In the spring of 1998 Macworld UK magazine carried a free copy of Claris Homepage on a cover CD.
Claris Homepage may have lacked the 'killer' features of GoLive and sexier Dreamweaver (the de facto WYSIWYG), but it was simplicity itself, and, above all, no hefty price tag if the medium left me cold. So, whilst off work and suffering from flu, I started to put together an inaugural web site: an eclectic mix of original work and pop culture commentary (Buffy, Party of Five and Dawson's Creek had captured the zeitgeist of the day). This went live on AOL within a week. The first 50 hits came soon after!
