DEIRDRE HUNT
PRODUCER

In 2004 I called to visit a friend in RosFm, a local Community Radio, of course you always get a job when you come in the door of a community radio and I was asked to read the news LIVE. I did this and got hooked on radio and became the news reader until I progressed to presenting their magazine programme once a week. In 2008 I got the opportunity to work in Athlone Community Radio, Marketing and Fundraising is a busy role which I love, but I can also be found on voiceovers, interviews and marathon broadcasts! Over the years I have had the pleasure of meeting the most amazing people and no two days are ever the same.
