West End Star Lee Mead Interviewed by Chelmsford College Learner
One of Chelmsford College’s Broadcast Media and Production learners, Jake Sawyer, had an amazing opportunity to interview West End star Lee Mead as part of his college industry placement at Chelmsford Community Radio. Jake was thrilled to be given the task to help host Michelle Durant ask Lee Mead about his UK tour and further exciting upcoming projects.
Very pleased with his college course, which he finds informative and interesting, Jake enjoys gaining further practical work experience through his work placement. Commenting on how it has "been great as I have become integrated into the station and I have learnt many things from Michelle", Jake showcased his skills during his interview with Lee.
From discussing Lee’s West End starring role in Sister Act last summer to bonding over their shared experience in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat… albeit Jake's performance was at his primary school, the interview proved very entertaining!
Aside from interviewing stage royalty, Jake enjoys reading the weather, discussing events, chatting with Michelle, and has recently started reading out the "On this Day in History" segment, while also gaining insight into the technical side of controlling the system's volume.
Both Chelmsford College and Chelmsford Community Radio are very proud to work together to provide learners with amazing industry opportunities and look forward to continuing this amazing work.
