You're about to listen to a BBC podcast and maybe it's when I had a hand in.

I'm Tammy Walker and I produce podcasts for the BBC.

My role is to give new and diverse creators a voice with the opportunity to build a career.

That's the thing I love about podcasts.

You start with just a good idea, but then you have the space to see where it goes.

And doing that at the BBC means we can really run with the best stories
