“I've been attending Content is Queen events for years for the simple reason that they consistently platform and represent perspectives that are absent in other podcast events. As a queer woman, I have always felt included at this festival, and it's a joy to celebrate, listen and learn every year.”
Ella Watts
Ella is a queer podcast producer, director, writer and audio fiction expert. She's the co-creator of Doctor Who: Redacted for BBC Sounds with Juno Dawson, and has worked on a number of fiction and non-fiction projects. These include BBC Radio 4's Quote...Unquote and successful independent podcast Wooden Overcoats. Currently, Ella works as a Voice Director at Six to Start, the company behind the successful gaming app Zombies, Run!
Ella is also a freelance producer working on a number of projects with various clients, including Audible and Crowd Network. Her aim is to shine a spotlight on the medium of audio fiction, and to make it as accessible as it can be to as many people as possible. In her sparse remaining free time, she's a Tabletop Game designer, and recently crowdfunded her first book in the genre, "Upriver, Downriver," for just over £22,000 on Kickstarter. At the Festival Ella will be talking about her podcast, Doctor Who: Redacted.
