Neal McClelland

Since the inception of Frisk Radio on local DAB in December 2021, I have played a pivotal role as the sole curator of all audio content aired Monday through Thursday from 6 to 10 pm on 'Evenings On Frisk'

This position has provided me with a rich and rewarding experience in immersing myself in the local area, despite prerecording the show daily from a distance.

Through diligent research and engagement, I have successfully showcased local attractions, interviewed emerging music talent, and fostered a strong connection with the community.

My efforts have contributed to the continuous growth of the show on and the station expanding its reach across various small-scale DAB platforms.

As the founder and driving force behind 'The Nocturnal Radio Show,' I have successfully established and cultivated a highly respected brand in the electronic music scene.

Since its inception in 2017 on Cool FM, N.Ireland, I have personally overseen every aspect of the show's development, from sound design and logo creation to content curation and syndication broadcasting on DAB and FM platforms in major cities like London, Brighton, and Norwich.

My role as sole presenter, producer, and curator has allowed me to showcase the most cutting-edge underground electronic music each week, earning recognition within the industry as a platform for emerging talent.

Notably, 'Nocturnal' has attracted interviews from some of the largest names in the global underground scene, further solidifying its reputation. Additionally, I actively manage and produce social media content for the show, leveraging my skills in digital marketing to maximize engagement and audience reach.

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have been entrusted with a significant role on a top 50 global music platform, where I have been able to share my deep knowledge and passion for electronic music for the first time.

Transitioning from the realm of on-air broadcasting to the dynamic world of interviewing, reviewing, and writing has been both exhilarating and immensely challenging—a challenge that I wholeheartedly embrace and cherish.

Through this role, I've had the privilege of engaging with and offering insights on a diverse range of talent, both emerging and established, including esteemed figures like Carl Cox, Faithless, and Orbital.

This experience has not only been personally rewarding but also a source of immense pride, as I've been able to contribute meaningfully to the global music community.

With my relentless 'can-do' attitude and a passion for delivering engaging and informative radio content, I have excelled in my role as a presenter and content creator for Drivetime, Saturday evenings, and Sunday afternoons.

Over the years, I have conducted captivating interviews with local, national, and international figures across various fields, ensuring a diverse and compelling listening experience for our audience.

Notable highlights include orchestrating, researching, producing & presenting two weekly live broadcasts from the Caribbean, hosting prestigious events such as the Balmoral Show, and actively engaging with our listeners both on-air and through social media platforms.

Committed to upholding brand expectations and fostering audience satisfaction, I consistently strive to innovate and exceed expectations in every aspect of my work.

I have kept all my interviews for reference if required at a later date.

During this time from Sept 2016 to Feb 2020 I was also broadcasting on Cool FM - Saturday Evening - Cool Old Skool & Sunday evening 'Sunday Club'. Working across both platforms gave me the opportunity to showcase may knowledge of different demographics and their likes and loves.

In my joint role at Bauer, I co-hosted Drivetime for the first time, a dynamic I found invigorating. I contributed four audio pieces daily, personally producing them on Adobe Audition, and managed split traffic and travel voicing for seven local segments every 20 minutes.

Despite the fast-paced editing, I ensured Drivetime maintained its engaging personality.

Our efforts were recognized with a nomination for Best Radio Show at the CIPR Awards in 2016.
