Oscar Edmondson

I am so excited to be taking over Burst this year and I have big plans! I want to take advantage of the wealth of creativity that Burst attracts and increase the diversity and quality of the content that we create. I also want to form a real community around Burst and cement it as one of the most active societies at Bristol University. This starts with the brilliant committee that we have assembled for 2019/20!

As station manager I am responsible for the overall media product and the committee but also you guys, the listeners and students. If you have any questions, please email: stman.burstradio@gmail.com

Rhiannon Du Cann

I oversee Burst’s core product, the output. I’m responsible for the day-to-day running of Burst, as well as sorting out additional funding for the station. If you need assistance with programming, technical, news, production and music departments then please ask me.

Isabella Armishaw: Head of Production

I am responsible for the ‘sound of burst’, a ‘sound’ which this year will be influenced by my experience as an accomplished saxophonist and pianist as well as previous role as manager of Bristol University’s Jazz Orchestra.

I oversee and create a variety of beds, jingles, station IDs and other on-air content such as show trails, sweepers and celebrity jingles. If you're interested in production then please get in touch!

Xander Brett: Programming

Burst’s main strength is the diversity of shows which we curate, and I have a keen interest in obscure and interesting show ideas. This year I will be in charge of scheduling Burst’s output as well as acting as quality controller, to which I will bring my own flair and enthusiasm for originality.

Archie McCreath: Commercial Manager

I'm responsible for Burst as a brand. I'm in charge of marketing the station to the wider student population and producing promotional material such as competitions. If your business or company is interested in collaborating with Burst either through sponsorship or advertisement then please contact me.

Lizzie Gill: Advertisement

I am the driving force behind the image of Burst through physical advertisement such as posters and leaflets as well as developing new initiatives to increase listenership.

I am so excited to assume this newly created role this year and push the station’s visibility.

Abby O’Donnell: Social Secretary

When I’m not having spontaneous photoshoots with dogs in random London restaurants, I am the Social Secretary of Burst Radio. I am responsible for the good times, liaising with local establishments for society socials and events such as ‘Burst @ The Love Inn’ and ‘Balloon Bar Takeovers.’

If your company want to be associated with Burst then please get in touch! Email: events.burstradio@gmail.com

Lidia Margaryan: Head of Music

This year I am studying at Bristol during my year abroad from UCLA where I major in English and minor in the Music Industry. I have a fascination for British music and developed my own radio show on UK Rap from an American perspective while in the US.

Bristol is one of the most diverse music scenes in the world I can’t wait to explore it!

Arthur McFarlane: Live Music Coordinator

I am so excited to develop the role of Live Music Coordinator and get started my own series ‘Burst Sessions’. As a musician myself, I want to give local and visiting artists the chance to collaborate with Burst to create a new and exciting platform available through our Website and YouTube channel.

If you are a musician and want to collaborate with us then please email: live.music.burstradio@gmail.com

Joe Boyd: Deputy Head of Music

I have lived an exciting existence thus far, with misadventures such as having been held at gunpoint by Chinese airport security. It’s this same fast pace that I will bring to Burst music reviews and playlist. I will be in charge of curating Burst’s ever-expanding and diverse playlist, available on our website and to our DJ’s! If you have music you’d like to hear played across the station, email me @ playlist.burstradio@gmail.com.

Eleanna Amias: Interviews

At day camp (circa the pearly summer nights of early youth) I refused to answer to anything other than ‘The El-Meister’. What the El-Meister lacked in 11-year old friends and self-awareness she made up for in copious amounts of Cred. It is this quirkiness that I will bring to Burst’s interviews.

At Burst, we have brilliant links with local venues, and I want to improve our interviews and their presentation to the student body. Email: interviews.burstradio@gmail.com

William Kerslake: Head of News

As Head of News I am responsible for telling the news using Bursts unique platform as a student-run radio station. We have a highly socially and politically aware student body and through articles, podcast and bulletins I give help to present the student voice.

If you want to join my team then get in touch!

Ezra Gill: Deputy of News

The bath towel that I stole from number 10 serves as a trophy to my interest in current affairs. As Deputy Head of News I want to help develop the output of Burst’s News Team, not only considering current affairs but also expanding the already diverse selection of podcasts we create.

If you have something interesting to say and have your own original podcast idea then please get in touch at: news.burstradio@gmail.com
