"What Goes On Media have been a revelation since I started working with them. They have given me the direction and confidence to reach my potential as a radio presenter and then once I've reached that goal, they raise the bar to challenge me further. They have inspired me in the day-to-day preparation and delivery of a show and their advice has been invaluable in every single session. I know as long as I continue to work with What Goes On Media, I will reach my goal of being the best presenter I can possibly be."
Guy Lloyd, Breakfast Show Presenter, Brighton's Juice 107.2
"SMUC Radio enlisted the help of What Goes On Media after being so impressed with a seminar held by the organisation at the SRA Conference in Leeds.
Their professionalism, attention to detail and willingness to help not only encouraged the presenters, but the also the management and staff too. They brought our presenters into a different league and actually helped them gain employment with some of the major radio companies including the BBC and Global Radio.
The "What Goes On Media" team went over and beyond the call of duty with follow up calls, emails, booklets and general support. Simply put, they are amazing!! ALL stations BOTH amateur and professional could REALLY learn a lot from these very talented guys!!"
Eamonn McCrystal, Founder of St Mary's University College Radio, London
"Kate played an important role in me finding a way in to the industry; coaching me from a work experience level, being instrumental in securing my first paid work and then monitoring my training and development thereafter. Her knowledge and passion about the workings of radio were a great help and she always found the time to sit and ensure that myself, and those around me, were informed and comfortable about the direction to take, which would be of most benefit to them."
Phil Clifton, Presenter, FiveTV (formally Xfm)
"What Goes On Media's style is refreshingly enthusiastic and creative. They clearly care for their talent and the team's deep understanding of the radio industry means working with them is easy. Most importantly they are getting results."
Paul Sylvester, Executive Producer, Absolute Radio
"he passion with which 'What Goes On Media' manages their presenters, as well as investing significant time in listening to and coaching the guys is really refreshing. Sam and Kate know radio inside out and have masses of experience, so working with them is as much about improving your skills as it is about finding work in the business."
Gary Stein, Station and Programme Director, Key 103
"Sam and Kate helped me refine what I do. These refinements to my skill set were essential to help me make the jump between student radio and national radio. With such a wealth of experience (in depth knowledge of production, presenting and what programme controllers want), they guide you through each basic element of your skill set and provide you with the tools to improve. "
Max Dickins, Presenter, Absolute Radio
"I began initially working with What Goes On Media for presenter coaching and development over a year ago. Since then, I can honestly say Kate and Sam have become invaluable and are my radio secret weapon.All the sessions I've had have provided me with practical, workable tools to use on air. They work with you and your personality to bring out your potential rather than squashing you into being another "generic presenter" and it's this which has made their service addictive. The energy and drive you gain from an hour with them will last you for 100's of shows to come.
Since Sam and Kate took over my representation 6 months ago I have been exposed to stations and programme controllers I could only dream of getting a demo to. They are dedicated to my career both personally and professionally and I now present two weekend shows on Heat Radio and have a show on Manchester's Key 103 with various other projects being pursued. They have coached and supported me throughout this entire process and continue to do so regularly.
What Goes On Media have been instrumental in my career, taking me from a local jock to nationally heard presenter in less than a year. It's only through their unique service of coaching along with representation that I've reached the level I have. "
Sarah Powell, Presenter, Key 103 Manchester
"The help and advice I have received from Sam and Kate has been fantastic, and has meant my presenting ability has improved tenfold in only a few sessions with them. They are both dedicated and enthusiastic coaches with an excellent knowledge of the field and the industry. Their combined experience of working within radio coupled with their dedication means that the advice they can offer is genuinely unparalleled. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending What Goes On as an extremely beneficial service and at great value for money"
Michael Blades, Presenter, Galaxy Network
"Kate and Sam have the ability to highlight areas of my skill in need of work that no one else can spot. Not only that, but they give me practical and realistic advice on how to develop what I do on air, and I can genuinely say that my improvement has accelerated hugely since meeting them. If you're not sure about paying good money for sessions such as these, I too was hesitant, but if you're serious about your craft I can assure you it is money extremely well spent. Bloody nice ladies too! "
Graham Albans, Presenter, The Hits
"Watching Sam and Kate's seminar it's clear what talented broadcasters they both are. Their depth of knowledge on all aspects of radio was presented in a clear, concise and entertaining manner. The women involved in the seminar had no prior understanding of radio and were from varying educational backgrounds, yet they all engaged completely and got a great deal out of the session. The Q and A session was particularly lively and I think that's a testament to Sam and Kate's approachability and sense of fun"
Emma Goswell, Producer, National Prison Radio Service
"I had the pleasure of working with Kate for two years at Xfm Manchester. Since its launch in March 2006, Kate was the producer on the Music: Response show which I presented on weekday evenings. The advice and guidance she gave me was always invaluable, helping me to establish my own style while still working within the parameters of 'good radio presenting'. Kate obviously has a great knowledge of how the radio world operates. She also has absolute enthusiasm and passion for the medium. During our time together I was nominated for two Sony Awards. Needless to say, without Kate's involvement this would not have happened. I would advise anybody interested in developing their career in radio to spend some time with Kate. She Rocks!!! "
Clint Boon, Drive Presenter, Xfm Manchester
"Sam is an incredibly enthusiastic coach and brilliant presenter and gave me a real helping hand as I started off with my first daily solo show. Sam gave me exactly the support I needed and helped me be prepared for that inevitable moment when things go wrong live on air!"
Natalie Besbrode, Presenter, Heart Network
"Kate's approach was always positive, but she was also ahead of the game and up on everything current. When my co-host and I had an idea she knew how to develop it to make it spectacular. Nothing was ever too much for her – she is one of the hardest working people I've ever known and a total pleasure to work with."
Sally Bailey, Breakfast Presenter, Red Dragon
"Sam's coaching made me feel much more confident about being myself on air. She helped me relax and become more natural. My links have become less repetitive and I've learnt to engage more with the listener."
Dave Goodman, Producer/Presenter, Network Europe ( a pan-European news and culture show broadcast around the world.)
