He’s part of the writing team for BBC Wales show The Tourist Trap starring Sally Phillips and Sian Harries and the Radio 4 sitcom Ankle Tag , series 3 of which is being recorded right now.

He also writes and presents documentaries for BBC Radio 4 including The Greatest Ever Faker in which he met, interviewed and spent time with a real-life convicted fraudster who was absolutely lovely. But then, that’s how they do it, isn’t it? He also writes and presents Radio Wales’s annual funny look back at the year’s news and has written for Spotify's weekly topical podcast We Need To Talk About…
.

He's currently working on an archive biography of Sir Tom Jones for Radio 4, two shows for Radio Wales and a comedy about Anglesey with Tudur Evans.
