I am an independent radio presenter and producer.

You’ll hear me regularly on BBC Radio 4, answering listeners’ questions on Home Planet and chasing after endangered wildlife on Saving Species. I also make my debut this year in comedy radio (which was terrifying but a lot of fun) as a panelist on the Museum of Curiosity.

I’m a member of the award-winning science collective known as the Naked Scientists, based out of Cambridge University. In 2010, I hijacked the radio show and sailed off into the wide blue yonder to launch Naked Oceans, a monthly podcast devoted to ocean science and conservation.

Produced, presented, and lovingly brought to life by me and the wonderful Sarah Castor-Perry, and funded by the good people at the Save Our Seas Foundation, we do our best to spread the word about the awesomeness that is the oceans, ocean science and conservation (while trying not to get too excited and carried away by it all). Tune in here.

Here are a few clips of me on the radio:

Since my book Poseidon’s Steed came out I’ve been on many radio programmes talking about seahorses including live national radio in the US and Australia, as well as recorded interviews for National Geographic Radio Weekend, Quarks & Quarks in Canada, Science in Action on the BBC World Service, and numerous regional NPR stations across the US. And somehow, after all that, I still never get bored talking about seahorses.

Listen to some of those interviews here.

And I am also busily working on a bunch of other radio projects – watch this space (she says, mysteriously).
