I am an award winning radio and podcast producer. I started out on radio at age 16 and absolutely loved it, so I wanted to explore this passion in my work. I have worked for radio stations and freelance for over ten years. I am based in Galway in the West of Ireland and I also work remotely. I am the series producer of 'Witness with Siobhán Garrigan' on RTÉ Radio 1 on Friday nights at 10pm.One of the best parts of my job is collaborating with people. I enjoy working closely with them to translate their ideas into engaging audio, whether it’s tracing Tom Crean’s footsteps or recording poets in unique soundscapes. I have years of experience in making radio, podcasts, sound design and as a media trainer. I won bronze for radio drama at the Irish Radio Awards 2018 (IMRO) and have been shortlisted for seven European Radio Drama awards, and for the Headline Mental Health Media Awards 2022. I utilise sound as a tool to evoke images and immerse the listener. I have produced radio documentaries, dramas, sound art pieces and podcast series. My work has been broadcast on RTÉ, Newstalk, Resonance FM (UK), DW (Germany) and various commercial and community stations.My project management and communication skills and attention to detail have been demonstrated in a variety of projects.Audio editing, sound design and mixing are my specialties. I regularly edit, mix and master podcasts in Ireland and the US, for Imagine Podcasting. As a certified QQI accredited trainer, I have devised and taught digital media courses. Inherent in my remit was the co-ordination, administration and examination of courses in radio production, editing, radio drama, social media and podcasting.Please see http://alanmeaney.ie for examples of work or email me: meaney [dot] alan@gmail.comFreelance Radio & Podcast Producer, Podcast Editing, Audio Cleanup, Production Manager, Radio Presenter, Radio Drama, Radio Documentary, Media Trainer, Sound & Vision, Funding Application Consultant, Editorial Content Provider, Project Management, Studio Operations, Sound Recordist, Audio Editor, Sound Art, Interviews, Sound Design, Podcasts, Podcast Production, Adobe Audition, Social Media, Station Imaging, QQI Trainer.
