Meeting the Voice behind your Choice at Eden FM

Summer Latham

Hello all - my name is Summer, and I have been at Eden FM since 2018. When I started the radio, I had just begun my Level 3 Diploma in Media Studies at Carlisle College, with absolutely no idea what I wanted to do in life. Since then, I have finished college and found a passion in the radio and social media. My first radio show was the Tuesday drive-time which I presented with my friend Jennie, which I absolutely loved! Since then, my confidence has grown and I try to do as much as I can at the radio, whilst balancing my day job and my freelance social media work. The thing that I really enjoy about the radio is the chance to be able to speak my mind. My favourite show that I do is my Afternoon Tea show, Tuesday 2pm until 4pm, as I just talk about whatever is on my mind and I love to play happy music to stay upbeat and smiling. It’s a chance for me to unwind with a cup of tea and just take a moment to relax and talk. I also have a breakfast show which I love. My favourite part about the breakfast show is simply just being there. It’s just such a good start to my day as I play more happy music to start off everyone’s day and get people in a good mood and hopefully dancing around too! My breakfast show is on a Saturday 8am until 10am. I also really enjoy working in social media. Being only 19, it is hard to get freelance work to be able to do it full time, but I appreciate any jobs I can get and I continue to constantly look for more opportunities.

Meet Denis Devlin

Launching 8pm Monday 18th July with the ‘New Music Monday’ show Denis is originally from Glasgow, however, he has lived in Cumbria for over 20 years, mostly based in Carlisle. The quirky Glaswegian loves football and for a period, worked as the media officer at non-league football club Carlisle City FC. During his time at Carlisle City FC, he described the fans, players and staff at the Gillford Park based club as unbelievable and built a great relationship with former Penrith FC coach Jim Nichols. He began a podcast during this period, and in his own words it "Simply Took Off" and now the NMF Podcast has become a popular show, especially for new up and coming bands from all over the UK looking to get exposure in the music industry. Denis has interviewed some of the biggest acts including The Crooks, The Haciendas, The Ultra Violets, Right Said Fred and Stuart Wolfenden, who you may remember as Herbie in the movie Dead Man's Shoes, starring alongside Paddy Consendine in the cult classic. Denis enjoys playing a variety of music including rock, indie, blues, jazz and of course pop, however his main interest is introducing new music from a variety of new artists throughout the UK.
