Hello! I’m Miriam and I’m Training and Development Officer for Ballyhoura Community Radio. I am responsible for all things training from microphone techniques to helping you pick some music for your show! At BCR we aim to give you the tools and training to communicate with your community.

Likes: asparagus, David Bowie, knitting, gigs, baking cookies, dying my hair ridiculous colours (predominantly purple), hats, cats, cats in hats and Coronation Street.

Dislikes: raisins, instant coffee, wearing glasses, rain, tracksuit bottoms and the word ‘moist’.

Hi! My name is Laura Fitzgibbon. I’m from Charleville and have lived here all my life – which would be almost 24 years! I have 4 sisters who live locally, as do my parents. My son Cathal is 5 years old. I’m currently studying Applied Social Studies in Limerick and am really enjoying it. I also enjoy socialising with friends & family, reading, procrastinating on the internet, watching films and of course listening to music!

I have worked in BCR since October of 2010. I am the Office Administrator/Receptionist for the radio station & keep track of most of the office and volunteer paperwork. I deal with all of your phone and email queries and I also maintain the online Community Diary & record it for air on Saturdays and Sundays. My email is Laura@bcradio if you have any queries.
