Please welcome Simon Gooch to the latest episode of #WhyWeLoveWorkingInAudio. He crossed bridges not once but twice, as he migrated from the UK to Sweden and also from private radio to the public radio space. Not sure which one was the bigger move though :-). In my view people like Simon, who have the experience of living in different cultures, are key for the evolution of our industry. When Simon and I met for the first time in - I think - 2016, he already was pioneering a more integrated approach to audio and breaking down barriers between broadcast and digital. Our conversations from back then still hold up today.

At Sveriges Radio he currently serves as the Head of P3 and is responsible for SR's music strategy. We share a love for music and when we find the time, we go record shopping together during #Radiodays Europe.

Thank you Simon for your testimonial and I'm counting on keeping up our vinyl tradition in Munich at #RDE2024 (I know one or two good record shops there).
