Hodges · Radio producer
Radio producer who makes shows sound good.
Now producing digital and social for Heart in Wales and Scotland. Before that, Josh & Kally on Capital and breakfast on Hits Radio. Open to freelance projects.
What a radio producer is doing at this hour.
I just want to make sh!t sound good.
At 15 I started presenting at Calon FM, my local community station in Wrexham. By 17 I was part-time station manager, and with a sharper format and some smart partnerships we hit the highest tracked listener figures the station had seen in years.
Somewhere along the way I realised I liked making other people sound great more than hearing myself. I joined Bauer at 19 as a freelancer, then became full-time breakfast producer for Hits Radio across the North West, working with Leanne & Joel, Hattie Pearson, Tom Green and Sam Thompson.
From there I produced Josh & Kally on Capital across Wales, and I'm now at Heart, making digital and social content for Wales and Scotland.
