Eleanor McDowall (@Ellie_McDowall) is a director at Falling Tree Productions.
She is the series producer of BBC Radio 4’s Short Cuts , which won the Gold Award for Best Radio Podcast at the British Podcast Awards in both 2017 and 2018. Her documentary work has received a Prix Europa, the Whicker’s World Foundation ‘Audio Recognition Award’ twice, the Gold Award for Best Factual Storytelling at the Radio Academy’s ARIAs and a Third Coast: Best Documentary award. In her spare time she runs both the Radio Atlas podcast, an English-language home for subtitled audio from around the world, and Field Recordings — a podcast where audio-makers stand silently in fields (or things that can be broadly interpreted as fields).
