hey, i'm chris birks.
I’m a radio presenter, producer, and coach with 15+ years of experience in the industry.
I've worked for some of the UK's biggest brands both on and off the air, led the relaunch of a four-station network as the country's youngest programme controller, and have enjoyed success overseas too - launching the UAE's first children's radio station and being the most listened to broadcaster in the Sultanate of Oman.
​
Right now, I'm making programmes for BBC Radio Derby, hosting 'Weekend Worship' on Konnect Radio, producing podcasts and other exciting audio content, and coaching some of the industry's most exciting future talent.
​
Take a look through my work, have a listen to what I do, and feel free to get in touch.

podcast.
In January, I was asked to host a special episode of The Radio Today Programme - the UK industry's go-to podcast.
My former boss Dick Stone chats about his journey from presenter to programmer, what he looks for when hiring, and new beginnings at Jack Radio Group.
