Julia Hayball

Senior Lecturer in Radio

Radio is magic - it can bring me to tears, have me howling with laughter or dancing around my kitchen. I’m passionate about music, storytelling and creating pictures with sound and radio provides all of that.

Biography

Radio is magic – it can bring me to tears, have me howling with laughter or dancing around my kitchen. I’m passionate about music, storytelling and creating pictures with sound and radio provides all of that.

Over the years, radio (or audio) has evolved and embraced change to stay relevant. That’s what I want to stay as well – industry relevant – and I continue to make programmes for the BBC, produce audiobooks, and voice links for an internet radio station.
