There's lots of interesting parts to being the programme leader for BA Media at Edge Hill University. One bit I particularly enjoy is the design and development of the degree through new modules. So, I'm really excited to be bringing Video Game Studies back to the department in 2026.

Really excited to get the final manuscript for my next article at the end of last week. Exploring playlisting and authenticity in rock and pop music on Spotify, my latest research at Edge Hill University will be published in Rock Music Studies with Taylor & Francis in late 2025 / early 2026.

It’s the end of week two and the first Autumn open day, so there’s a lovely buzz in our building on the Edge Hill University campus today (even if the weather isn’t as great!).

A bit like the bus, the Edge Hill University Open Days are starting to arrive all at once. Lovely to meet the next generation of the media industry at our second event of the weekend.

At the start of this month I was invited back to the University of Liverpool to present some of my recent research at a conference to help mark the opening of the Institute of Popular Music's "Greatest Hits" exhibition. It was really exciting to see some of the archive's wonderful materials on show.

My article on the soundtracks of the Wipeout videogame series for the Journal of Sound and Music in Games has crept onto their “Most Read” list.
If anyone from the journal is reading this, please don’t explain how this is a technical error and therefore burst my little Friday-lunchtime-bubble.
