Michelle Owen Live

Michelle Owen
Even as a teenager, Michelle Owen was always prepared to challenge stereotypes. Her love of football has always been with her and when she was forced to play netball at school, she did ‘keepie-uppies’ with the ball until she got sent to the corner.
After a spell as breakfast DJ, she’s now doing the job she loves – reporting on football on Sky Sports and Radio 5 Live.
In this podcast, there is a recurring theme of overcoming adversity from succeeding in a male dominated career through to fighting the debilitating illness, Hyperemesis Gravidarm, during pregnancy.
We’re sure you’ll find this podcast with Michelle Owen an inspiration.

Stuart Dunn Podcast Live!

31st Mar 2019 — Leave a comment

Having grown up in Shrewsbury, Stuart’s dream as a teenager was to be a football commentator on his home town team. Now in his 40’s he has commentated on over 1,000 games for Shrewsbury Town on Radio Shropshire. He has seen them promoted, relegated and play at Wembley three times. In this podcast we talk all things football, of course, but also about how you make your teenage dreams come true.

It was great to talk to Stuart and, having had a career as a journalist and in radio, he has a natural ease in front of the microphone.

I learnt a lot from him in our conversation which you can download here:

Introductory Podcast Launched!

24th Feb 2019 — Leave a comment

Hi everyone!

Just to say that I’ve launched my first podcast, which is a bit of an explanation of what “Talking Teenage Life” is going to be all about, in case you didn’t know! It includes some clips from interviews I’ve already done – I’ve currently got four that I’m finishing editing and one that it uploaded and will be available from next Sunday – 3rd March.

Now although I’ve uploaded the podcast today I have to wait for the nice people at Apple and iTunes to approve my podcast before you can find it there. It will hopefully be available soon, so keep an eye out for it so you can then subscribe.

However, if you keen to hear it now, then you need to click on the link below to get a sneaky early preview:

Please do let me know what you think. I’d love to hear your feedback and, as it’s my first attempt, I am sure there are loads of things that I could improve on.

So here we go – let’s get talking teenage life!
