Louise Parker is an award-winning broadcaster.

With strong editorial instinct and a natural ability to connect, Louise creates warm, personality-led content across radio, podcasts and digital platforms. She works across presenting, producing, research and original idea development, and was named Best Radio Presenter at the Ones To Watch Awards.

Her journey into broadcasting has been fast-paced and full of momentum. She went from training to leading flagship shows and broadcasting to thousands of listeners, while also developing original concepts and pitching ideas for commission. Earlier in her career, Louise built a successful business in interior design, with features in ELLE Decoration, a six-figure product range featured by Vogue and SheerLuxe, and projects from Miami to Melbourne.

Across the BBC, podcasting and original idea development, Louise has built a body of work defined by sharp storytelling, thoughtful conversation and an intuitive understanding of audiences. As the creator and host of 13 Reasons to Try, she built the independent podcast from the ground up, shaping everything from concept and branding to guest booking, interviews and production, while growing an international audience across the UK, US, Australia and Europe.
