Welcome to the Your Voice Here Podcast - a podcast all about helping budding radio presenters, podcasters and voice over artists get their voices heard.

This week, we discuss radio presenting with our guest, BBC Journalist and Radio Presenter Steph Watkins

Steph Watkins is a Presenter and Producer for the Mid Morning Show on BBC Radio Guernsey. After years of trying to cut it as a performer in London, it took a global pandemic (and for the world to stop) to make her assess the direction that she wanted to continue with. Now jobless and having had to move back to her parent’s house, she by chance found a place in community radio and never looked back.

Since then, she’s gone on to work at the BBC, firstly in Salford for Children’s and Education, and then coming back into radio with a move to Guernsey in the summer of 2022, where she started out as a journalist. Steph soon was given opportunities to cover for shows, and has recently been appointed into her new role which she can’t wait to start.

In this episode of Your Voice Here, we discuss:

- The importance of community radio

- What good community radio should be about

- How to connect with other radio presenters

- How to approach radio stations about presenter roles

- The art of patience
