    I developed an idea for a series of community based interviews, ‘Voices from the block’, which I am nearly ready to pitch to a BBC local radio station. I'm working on this project with a former BBC Local Radio Managing Editor. I have enjoyed the research, interviewing and recording this has involved and the excitement of knocking on people’s doors, never quite knowing who, or what, will emerge on the other side.
