RT is pleased to announce the appointment of Hugh Ormond to the new role, Head of Podcasting, following an internal competition.
In this pivotal role to the delivery of RT 's New Direction Strategy, Hugh will lead and shape the development of RT 's podcast strategy and oversee the production and distribution of podcasts across a wide range of genres, from news and current affairs to entertainment, sports, drama, Irish language and arts & culture.
As the senior creative lead with overall responsibility for the development and editorial management of RT 's podcast portfolio he will work closely with RT 's audio, video and online teams of content creators across the organisation to anticipate changing audience needs and cultivate new opportunities.
Hugh Ormond has a wide range of programme-making experience in senior roles across RT , commercial broadcasting and the independent production sector.
He has worked in current affairs, entertainment, documentaries, and comedy, most recently serving as Editor of RT Investigates and Claire Byrne Live. Previously a series producer on some of RTE's most prominent radio shows, he also produced the satirical TV Series Irish Pictorial Weekly and was producer of the Breakfast Show with Eamon Dunphy on Newstalk.
Speaking about Hugh's appointment RTE's Director of Audio, Patricia Monahan said, We have ambitious plans to expand our digital audio portfolio and are delighted to have Hugh on board to spearhead the development and delivery of our podcast strategy. He brings a wealth of experience to the role and a track record for editorial innovation which will be invaluable as we develop a new suite of digital content in line with audience needs as we prepare to launch the new Audio App.
Hugh Ormond said, It's a great privilege to be appointed RT 's first Head of Podcasting. This is an incredible job to take on at this point in RT 's development. Doc On One has led the way for RT podcasting in recent years by producing a succession of world class audio series. We have a great opportunity now to build on this success by significantly increasing and broadening our podcasting offering. There are amazingly talented people across RT and the independent sector, and I'm looking forward to working with them to grow our slate of podcasts.
ENDS
