- Careers
In this month’s Wonder Women podcast, Ria talks to Fozia Khan, Development Executive at Amazon Studios who recently left the documentaries department at Channel 4 Commissioning to work in Unscripted. Armed with a wealth of experience working on ground-breaking documentaries such as 24 Hours in Police Custody, Damilola: The Boy Next Door and Is Covid Racist? Fozia’s impressive portfolio and extensive background in programme-making working alongside Patrick Holland at BBC Two and at The Garden Productions where she produced Posh People and Extremely British Muslims make this episode about her incredible career a fascinating listen. As people who work in TV, digest the many discussions that took place in this year’s Edinburgh TV festival, Ria asks Fozia about the top issues affecting women in TV - as a senior leader in the industry; a mother and a woman of colour, what needs to change to truly achieve more diversity at senior leadership level and what are the advantages that come with working for a streaming video on demand service compared to a traditional, linear television broadcaster? Sit back, grab a cuppa and be inspired. Fozia is mixing things up in TV and we're excited to see it!
