Hello! I’m an audio producer and writer.
I have made 80+ programmes for Radio 4 and the World Service including ten-part series, eight-part series, and many five- and three-part series. I mainly make audio about history and current affairs, but I have also made documentaries about art, sport and gaming. My work has won at the British Podcast Awards, the AIBS and the Royal Historical Society Awards. It has also been nominated for the Orwell Prize, the British Journalism Awards, the Arias, Prix Europa and the Audio Production Awards.
I have written long form articles for the BBC and also for magazines including The Fence and Racquet. A while ago I wrote a non-fiction book called Out of Thin Air about a strange miscarriage of justice in 1970s Iceland. It has been translated into more than half a dozen languages and was made into a film on Netflix.
Get in touch at antadeane@gmail.com for any work queries or requests. I am available for writing long form pieces or for producing and executive producing audio projects. I am not available for website design.
