“My love for broadcast and telling stories started at TuksFM.”

Carmen Reddy started her journalism career at TuksFM while studying at the University of Pretoria, and has since worked for the likes of 5FM, Primedia, eNCA, and Newzroom Afrika. In our latest episode, she tells the LeadUP Podcast about:

• Starting out on campus radio;
• Taking risks and proving herself in commercial radio;
• How her ideas about success have evolved over time;
• The importance of helping others in the industry; and
• Learning to take no as an answer and adjusting.

The LeadUP Podcast gives members of the UP community and the broader public access to prominent UP alumni and alumni associates, who share their top tips for success, and the stories behind their own climb up their industry ladder.
