"AI makes the arts accessible": sounds like a skill issue - Riot and Reason
Let’s get one thing straight: when people say “AI makes art more accessible,” what they really mean is, “I didn’t want to put in the effort, so I typed a sentence and called it creativity.”
For centuries, art has been a process, often slow, difficult, and deeply human. Learning anatomy, understanding light, and building a style — these are not barriers to accessibility. They’re the very bones of artistic expression. But in the age of AI, all that is being tossed out in favour of instant grati...

No piece of media demonstrates the depravity of the UK housing market than Homes Under the Hammer. The BBC property show has been a fixture of daytime TV since 2003 and, by this point, has ingrained itself into the very fabric of British culture....

Discover the world of lab-grown human ‘mini-brains’ and if whether they could lead towards a new sci-fi apocalypse or medical marvels.

I also have experience in other storytelling formats and can provide examples on request. I have produced radio packages as part of my degree and even helped produce a package for Sheffield Talking News at the Sheffield Royal Society for the blind on Sheffield's final handmade scissor makers.
I also produced and edited two podcast episodes for our magazine brand. As part of that brand, I also helped build the website. You can find the link below.
