Tom Platts Email & Phone Number

Since February 2023, I have been a 360 degree podcast producer on several shows, including Beyond the Lens (photography with Richard Bernabe), Wright on the Nail (politics) with Chris Wright CBE, Not Your Usual Doctor (with Dr. Charlie Easmon), and In Reality (misinformation with Eric Schurenberg). This year, I launched 'The Elixir Poetry Podcast' with poet Helen Wing, which features my own original music. I have released four episodes of my own podcast 'Making An Impression', a music/arts, young people-centric and interview-based work in which I have spoken to guests such as Tamil popstar Kharesma Ravichandran and Green Party Peer Natalie Bennet.Podcast producing involves:- finding and coordinating guests for the recordings- writing scripts including on current affairs- running editorial meetings and recordings with high-profile clients and guests - professionally producing and editing the podcast audio, sometimes composing original music for the podcasts- writing copy, making graphics for publication, and publishing the episodes on websites, mailing lists, and promoting them on social media. including making reels out of episode contentOutside of podcasting, I performed at Glastonbury 2022 as a saxophonist with Latin/neo-soul band Naia. I have a multitude of experience working in various industries including film, music, events and hospitality, and education.I am a gigging London-based jazz singer, and saxophonist, songwriter, and am interested in many other performance art forms such as drama & comedy.
