Studying broadcast to top engineering roles and professional development with Jose Otero.

I was looking for different places to find ideal guests and I
wanted someone who worked in a technical capacity this time so I
thought let's try LinkedIn groups and Jose was keen so over the
festive period we recorded the show - we had to reschedule on the
same day due to time differences but we got there in the end.


It was a great to understand how Jose got where he is now and a
lot of the work he does I can relate to so found it fascinating
how he started in sound and with drive and passion managed to
make it to the heights of broadcast in another country.
