[Podcast] Charging for carrier bags in Wales

11 July 2009 //

Yes, it’s true, I am venturing into the amazing and frankly scary world of podcasting!

I cannot stress enough that this is not going to rock your world. I am one (relat­ively) shy and inar­tic­u­late woman wrest­ling unsuc­cess­fully with a micro­phone and some crappy animation.

Having said that, please feel free to tell me what I can do better, and even whether there is any actual poten­tial in this!

Case study
The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS)
The way credit card providers deal with their customers was up for review, and BIS wanted ordinary consumers to be involved in the consulta­tion process. I helped them simplify the consulta­tion, and when the consulta­tion was over I helped them commu­nicate the results of the consulta­tion and explain exactly what the new laws about credit cards would be.

Reviews

“The work Corinne did for our consulta­tion on credit cards was remark­able, creative and beautifully-presented. On a very short times­cale, she turned a 100-page docu­ment into 10 crisp, read­able pages bringing credit card policy to life for everyday consumers. The accom­pa­nying podcast summary she arranged was magni­fi­cent: clear, straight­for­ward and enga­ging.” October 28, 2009

“Corinne is an excel­lent copy­writer who condensed a long-winded dry and complex consulta­tion docu­ment into a friendly, easy to under­stand concise two pager which she styled beau­ti­fully. She then recorded a great podcast explaining the issues, in this case the compex­ities of credit card agree­ments. That piece of work produced fant­astic results and became one of our most popular consulta­tions ever. Corinne also worked incred­ibly quickly — a serious plus when dealing with govern­ment, as was tremend­ously good value. Would defin­itely hire her again. Impressive.” April 27, 2011

The right to control for disabled people — in 59 seconds!

I said in my last post that I’d been chal­lenged to squish my latest consulta­tion trans­la­tion into 60 seconds, and here it is.

As you’ll know from my previous podcast on carrier bag charges in Wales, I’m not the most confident speaker, but I think this one works much better than the last one.

Got to work on my mono­tone, but I’m going to keep calling it deadpan until I get rid of it…

59 seconds, too. Always have to go one better!

Listen!
