Ann Charles
Ann is a radio producer-turned broadcast engineer who specialises in all things studios and workflow. Equally happy making programmes as running broadcast infrastructure projects, her career so far has included 12 years at the BBC, teaching journalism in New Zealand and training broadcast engineers and producers in South Sudan. She also travels the world as a workflow consultant, trainer and speaker for various broadcast technology companies. Ann specialises in object-based media and founded Mediabobs in 2023 in order to help the broadcast industry prepare for the future of how programmes will be produced and consumed. Ann is also the co-Director of Radio TechCon - the UK radio and audio industry's technical and engineering event, which takes place in London each year. Outside of work, Ann can be found fitting parents with baby slings, drinking gin, and eating chocolate (not necessarily all at once).
