SNS Online  Bitesized  Series 2 - Julie Hesmondhalgh On Cucumber.

ARTS.   LIFESTYLE.   SNS ONLINE.

- SNS Online started its life as a weekly hour long LGBTQ+ magazine/music show ('ScratchNSniff', hence 'SNS'!) on national Irish dance music station, RTÉ Pulse - running on and off for four years. Since then the show has evolved as an online showcase for actors, musicians, journalists, authors, script writers, stand-up comedians and more - all in the form of in-depth one-to-one interviews - all fully illustrated with archive audio & music. These are independent podcasts produced to the highest professional standards and non-profit making/also unhindered by advertising. Nick himself describes SNS Online as an 'audio love letter' to all who take part. But don't take his word for it - dive in!

- SNS Online's Nick Randell has worked in radio/TV sound for over 30 years at the BBC. He has also presented for the BBC World Service - 'Pop Phrases' (a 20 part BBC English series), the UK top ten/WS Azeri stream, WS radio packages (also for numerous BBC regions), and finally, Irish national, RTÉ (four series of weekly hour shows - music/features/guests Weds 7-8pm). 

- TV appearances Blue Peter/Newsround/The One Show (BBC One), Gaytime TV (BBC Two), The Working Life (ITV). 

- Was once described as 'some BBC suit' by The Guardian's Media Monkey, after Nick wrote a letter to Ariel which got misinterpreted. 

- Many other 'ScratchNSniff' shows from its initial RTÉ run are available to be heard via Mixcloud by searching there for SNS Online.
