Hello, my name’s Suchandrika (Such-AND-drika and the ‘ch’ is soft, like in ‘choose’).
I’m a London-based freelance journalist, producer and trainer for hire: I can write for you, produce audio and video, plus develop media training sessions
Need any of that? Get in touch!
So, about me? The essentials:
I made the Black Mirror Cracked podcast – 150,000 listens in the first 5 months of 2018!
- I’m a media skills trainer
- I write across a variety of topics such as the arts, politics and technology for publications like New Statesman, gal-dem and The Outline
- I speak at conferences and events on journalism-related subjects, including diversity in journalism and how women are getting into radio
Speaking at Google’s King Cross building in London, alongside Elizabeth Pears of BuzzFeed UK and Jaqueline Simmons of Bloomberg
Discussing women in audio at the University of East Anglia, with (L-R) Jocelin Stainer, Head of Production, BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra & Asian Network and DJs Christie Driver-Snell and Jaguar Bingham

Part of Spotify’s podcast panel at KDD 2018 at the ExCel, London. L-R: Spotify’s Julie Riederer, me, BBC journalists Lauren Hutchinson and Nastaran Tavakoli-Far
- In July, I spilled the secrets of starting a successful podcast at the News Rewired conference (here’s the audio); in August I was on an all-female podcast panel curated and moderated by Spotify at the KDD 2018 conference – we talked about how the audience finds its way to our podcasts; in September, I told the Next Radio conference how to grow a podcast audience.
Taking the floor at the lovely Royal Institution of Great Britain in London, to tell the Next Radio conference about podcast audience growth
Here’s what I learnt from all this speaking in public
