BROADCASTERS – Do you need a good quality interview with someone in Western Somalia today? Or anywhere else? Fully-equipped freelance radio journalist, with links to other freelancers worldwide, I conduct telephone or VoIP interviews for broadcast. I am also a regular contributor on subjects from politics to religion (sceptic) and popular culture.
EQUIPMENT - includes Teleporter II telephone balance unit, Olympus LS-10 recorder, Samson C03U and Sony microphones, Glensound ISDN codec, Skype, VoIPCheap, Pamela Call Recorder, vEmotion Call recorder with Sonar Cakewalk and Wavepad editors.
TIME DIFFERENCES? Not a problem. Happy to work in the middle of the night too. I can then send you the interview (edited or raw) electronically within minutes.
RECENT CLIENTS: Since starting this service properly in January 2010, I have recorded, edited and filed clips and interviews for broadcasters like Sky Radio, NBC, CBS, Foxnewsradio, BBC Radio 4, Radio New Zealand and, of course, BBC Radio nan Gaidheal and Isles FM.
VoIP: Although I am on an island, it does not matter. Through the wonders of VoIP, and Skype particularly as so many broadcasters are happy to use it – for pre-record and sometimes live.
ISDN: Though I have ISDN equipment, I am subscribed to the service only when I have specific projects which require it. VoIP is so acceptable to many broadcasters now. If you prefer to use ISDN e.g. for live work, and can give some notice, call me.
BBC STUDIO: My office is close to the BBC radio studio in Stornoway. I can be a contributor from there for stations that can arrange use.
