Ben, Kermit & Jim by Diana Jarvis

I’m a freelance producer working in audio and live music.


Back at the beginning of 21st Century I was answering the phones on EssexFM and then through hard work and luck became a radio producer working on the breakfast show on ClassicFM, then Smooth Radio with a detour into CBeebies radio. I left this behind for podcasting a decade or so ago - specialising in the arts culture with a podcast for the Barbican and Southbank Centre amongst many others. In parallel to this I created the much-loved series Arctic Circle’s Daylight Music - originally based in Islington, but now found in some beautiful church spaces in East London and Kent.

Recent clients: Cultureblast, Barbican, Academy of St Martin in the Fields, Scottish Ensemble, Margate Radio, Arctic Circle, Daylight Music.

Previous clients: Britten Sinfonia, Smooth Radio, Sound and Music, CBeebies Radio, Southbank Centre, BBC Proms, Kings Place, Resonance FM, Singapore Airlines, BBC Radio 2, Chill DAB, Classic FM.
