Spaces are limited – so register today! Venue TBC – but it will be wheelchair accessible.

About the speakers

Renay Richardson is a podcast producer and consultant from London.

After over a decade working in the film and TV industry, she found her passion for audio. She’s a driving force for representation within the relatively new UK podcast scene, bringing her expertise in working with major international players in the audio world. Creating content for underrepresented audiences is her passion, along with making content creation accessible to all.

Chrystal Genesis is a freelance producer and broadcast journalist.

After working at the BBC for almost a decade – creating multi-platform content for Radio 4, 6 Music, BBC 1 and BBC World in London and Washington DC, she now works in artistic programming at Southbank Centre for contemporary music, performance and dance.

Chrystal co-founded Stance Podcast, an award-winning independent arts, culture and current affairs podcast. Born out of frustration with the under-representation of many voices in society, Stance presents fresh views from people that the world doesn’t hear from enough, giving marginalised people the same amount of space, creativity and intellectual weight as others.
