David Peek

Hi, I'm David Peek and I'm studying for an MA in Multiplatform Radio at the Atrium. I originally took Physics at the University of Bristol, where I first got interested in radio. My other interests include walking, cycling, playing squash, acting and singing. I'll be gathering lots of audio and you'll hear my voice asking the questions in some of the site's interviews.

Arielle Tye

I am in my final year studying Radio at the Atrium. I'm one of the audio team, so if you ever see me I'll probably be holding a microphone with a set of headphones on! I'm also station manager for Tequila Radio which is an on-line station that broadcasts live from the Atrium, here in Adamsdown (so tune in, it's wicked!!). I'm passionate about what I do and am looking forward to working in the industry when I graduate!

Katy Blake

I'm a mature student studying part-time for an MA in Multiplatform Radio at the University of Glamorgan in Cardiff. I live in Somerset so have quite a journey into Cardiff but it's well worth it. I was a solicitor for a local authority but decided that it was time for a change and so left a well paid job for life as a poor student. I've been involved in hospital radio for several years and am also an active member of my local church where my husband is the minister. 

Chris Latham

I am a post graduate student studying an MA Interactive Journalism at the Atrium. After graduating from Swansea University I spent two tedious years working for Blockbuster Entertainment and my local council; I finally decided it was time to do something else. Aside from a few bits of work experience for my local paper and the Big Issue Cymru this is my first foray into journalism and so far I'm finding it really exciting.

James Doughty

Hi, I'm James, a third year Drama and Media Production student here at the Atrium. I've been working on radio shows since 2006 and before that I did a lot of work on the technical side of theatre which I still do now. I do lots of work in schools and with children in general. I enjoy scuba diving and have done a skydive for charity, flown an aeroplane and been on a World Challenge expedition to Peru.

Hannah Galloway

Hello I'm Hannah. I'm currently a post-graduate student at Glamorgan University, I am studying a MA in Interactive Journalism and I'm based in the ATRiuM building on Adam Street. Originally a country bumpkin from beautiful Devon, I moved to the bright lights of Cardiff to study at 18 and have never left. Outside of my ongoing pursuit of a glistening career in journalism I enjoy a variety of hobbies, most of which centre around my love of the great outdoors.

Rob Molcher

I lecture in Creative Technologies at The Atrium. I am responsible for tech support for the Adamsdownhere website.

Diana Brand

I lecture at the University of Glamorgan and am responsible for the degrees in radio and journalism here at the Atrium. This web project has been financed by the university and I see it as a way of involving our students in the locality. If you phone up to 'Ask Adam' anything it's my job to make sure your comments get through to the team.

I'm Clare Gabriel, a journalist working for BBC News Online in Wales. I am delighted to have been asked to help editorially with adamsdownhere.co.uk and am looking forward to seeing the website grow and interact with people who live in the area throughout March.
