about

Karen Pearson is an extremely accomplished radio producer, a globally recognised podcast pioneer and a talented club promoter & DJ. She is also the founder and sole director of Karen P Productions Ltd aka Folded Wing. Karen established herself at the tender age of 23 as one of the youngest producers at BBC Radio One, on Gilles Peterson’s weekly ‘Worldwide’ broadcasting phenomenon. She enhanced the original ‘join the dots’ concept of the show, while changing the format, by organising sessions and live events, and introducing established artists whilst continuing to nurture new talents. Under Karen’s watchful eye, the Radio 1 Worldwide show toured the UK and international spots at the Miami Winter Music Conference, Sonar Electronic Festival in Barcelona and Exit in Serbia among many more. Leaving the Worldwide show, Karen quickly established herself as a global authority on podcasts and “post-broadcast” audio, setting up groundbreaking projects and platforms such as Red Bull Music Academy Radio and working with a host of clients including the BBC, Roundhouse Radio and more recently nightclub Fabric & international brand Nike. Her company was awarded a Sony Radio Academy Gold award - the highest accolade on offer from the radio industry - for the innovative literary podcast ‘Book Slam’. Karen is also regularly asked by organisations like BBC, Channel 4 and the Radio Academy - amongst others - to join discussion panels and hold motivational talks in broadcast and technology. S
