Sassy Clyde - Head of Podcasts

I look after a selection of clients, recording and producing regular podcast episodes for them.

My background is in theatre, but I’ve always loved the audio form. I run a theatre company, producing new writing, and I produced 2 seasons of podcast plays in 2020 – called The Scene – with Janno’s support. This led to me coming on board as a team member.

Producing The Scene was a huge achievement for me. After self teaching the software needed to build the plays, I discovered a whole new world of creativity to channel my passion for storytelling.

I meet extremely interesting people when recording podcasts for Janno Media, and learn about complex issues relating to many topics, for example the law or environmentalism, all framed within a relaxed and conversational setting. 

About me

I grew up in Buckinghamshire, studied in Bath and London and have remained in London ever since. 

When I’m not working I enjoy writing and I love scuba diving.

My top 3 films/books…

  • The Big Lebowski
  • Withnail & I
  • Shortbus

My favourite place…

Any Ocean.

Something about me not many people know…

It’s not that I’m afraid of the dark, but I’d rather there was a light on.

I think packaging your message as a story is the best way to communicate ideas. That ‘story’ can be as simple as a conversation between two people which is why podcasts are so effective. I understand how to get people invested in what they’re listening to or watching.
