Good news - I'm in. After a year off in 2025, I'll be running my 10th Snowdonia Marathon this October. Let the hard work begin. #running #run #Marathon #MarathonEryri #SnowdoniaMarathon

2025 has been a busy and successful year. I got a promotion at the University, won an innovation award for my teaching, appeared in two Sky Crime documentaries, The Sound of Politics podcast was shortlisted at a national awards and I did 58 newsroom shifts. #HappyNewYear 🥂🍾🥂

A sneak peek behind the scenes during a #news shift at @bbc5live.bsky.social.

This has been my office for the day. I'm on a late shift at BBC 5-Live. I've been popping up with the latest #news throughout the day.

Awful scenes in Liverpool. A car has collided with Liverpool fans celebrating their Premier League victory. Thoughts are with anyone caught up in this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn...

A lovely anniversary meal at The Ivy, Manchester.

I'm here with your #news until midnight on the 39 local BBC #Radio stations across England and the Channel Islands.

I love the idea of a board supporting their manager & looking to the future. It's refreshing. But Evatt has lost the backing of the most fans. The players are not performing; many of the players have lost the backing of the fans. Next, it will be the board unless they act. #bwfc

Enjoyed sharing my thoughts at the Association For Journalism Education Winter Conference today. My presentation looked at how those working in both industry and academia can play a massive role in bridging the gap between #academia and #industry. It was great to hear from other speakers too.

First race of 2025 done. #HeatonParkHalfMarathon on a cold and icy Sunday. #HeatonPark #RunUK #Running

I'm going to be presenting at The Association #Journslism Education winter conference 2025 next Friday. My presentation explores the pros and cons of working across both #academia and industry, asking “Does working across industry and academia come at a cost?” ajeuk.org/aje-winter-c...

Here we go again ... another evening in W21 reading the #news for the 39 local BBC #radio stations across England and the Channel Islands.

"Hello" from W21 here at Media City, in Salford. I'm on #news duties reading the bulletins for the 39 local BBC #radio stations across England and the Channel Islands until just after midnight. I'm keeping an eye on the #floods and other stories making the news tonight.

That's my #news reading at BBC 5-Live done for 2024. Looking back, I've covered some big stories over the last 12 months, and these last three days haven't eased up, ending with breaking the news about the death of #JimmyCarter. Time for a break before returning in 2025.

Merry Christmas 🎅 I hope you have a wonderful day.

Last shift before Christmas. I'm reading the #news on 5-Live. A little out of breath for the first headlines having broken a golden rule; do not run in a #newsroom before the bulletin 😬 A little out of breath.

Back in W-21 at Media City and popping up with the #news on the 39 local BBC #radio station across England and the Channel Islands this evening.

On #news duties for the 39 BBC #radio stations in England and the Channel Islands this evening. Studio W-21 is my home for the night.

Graduated with my postgraduate certificate in Academic Practice. It's helped shape my teaching, introducing me to different pedagogies; scholarship research; and much more. I've also met some great colleagues from across the @universityofleeds.bsky.social who share my love of creative practice.

It was great to be part of the evening celebrating great work by students at the #bjtcawards. Best TV #journalism and best #TV newsday for students from the @UniversityLeeds at the @BJTC_UK awards hosted at Sky News. More recognition of the excellent work being done at the uni.

So proud of our Journalism graduates who are at Sky HQ right now at the @bjtc.bsky.social Awards waiting to know who won 🤞🤞🏻🤞🏾🤞🏿

🏆Winners🏆 of @bjtc.bsky.social Awards. Congratulations to our graduates 🏆

Back on #news duties ... Don't be tricked into thinking my dulcet Northern tones are taking over the world. Despite the mic shield saying differently, it's an early 5-Live shift.

🎧 For understanding all the 'Alchemists of Communication' from politics, to strategy and planning, to public sector, to business. Stephen Coleman hosts 'The Sound of Politics’ and the sound of this podcast is awesome because of @carlhartley.co.uk ➡️➡️ open.spotify.com/show/7kjQ9fV...

This is great news 👏🏻 We have such talented students studying #journalism at the University of Leeds, who work so hard to create some excellent content. So, it's always good when the work is recognised by other organisations.

Congratulations to the University of Leeds students Olivia Davies and Emma Jackson, who were part of the broadcast. It's great to see theirs and other students' hard work, being rewarded in this way.

This is such sad news. Howard was so lovely to work with during my time at talRADIO. A talented broadcaster, a real #radio man, and genuinely lovely person.
