Radio Presenter, Chat Show Host & more

?So, who am I

My name is Susan Sutton and I’m a radio host, TV presenter, director, producer, scriptwriter a volunteer befriender and mentor

~

Sometimes, I've even been known to have a day off, here and there

~

Although still in the discussion phase right now, I hope to be presenting a brand new TV chat show called The Talk (Scot) - so keep an eye out for that one

~

I have lived a life that most people would thank [insert deity here] that they haven't had to endure themselves

~

I've walked a mile in many shoes, including sleeping rough on the streets of London for a year, sexual abuse, and enduring abusive relationships of which, in the last one, he tried to kill me. There is more to my life, but this is a public space on which anyone of any age can see. Some things are best left to a more appropriate time and place

 ~

But here I am, a SURVIVOR. And it is through the lessons I've learned, and the trials and tribulations of my life, that I decided to turn my hand to presenting a radio show, to offer the opportunity for ordinary people (like you and I) to speak about their own lives. How they cope, or have overcome the difficulties and how they, too, have survived. Thus, hopefully, enabling listeners (and soon to be viewers) of the show to seek the help, guidance and support that they deserve

~

There's always plenty of music too ~ Happy times

~

I became a presenter and producer of my radio show after seeing an advert by Sunny Govan Community Radio on social media offering a course on how to produce a radio show. After the course ended, I was offered a 2-hour slot. Not knowing what I wanted my show to be about, I thought that the best idea was to talk about things that I KNEW about. Abuse in many forms - sexual and violent. Mental health. How to be kind, how to survive, how to be a friend and to offer support

~

My journey into radio began in 2014 on another radio station, and with SunnyG since 2019 and, obviously, I'm still here

~

I gained my HNC in Acting and Performance in 2005, and have been cast in many main or lead roles over the years. In one of the films, in which I played the lead role, was given the Best Lead Actress Award, as well as the film and the MUA herself winning awards

~

The film was about the day my ex had tried to kill me. It was made with the intention of that cliche of "If it can help one person, job done". Many people contacted me after it was screened, thanking me and saying that it had given them the courage to leave their own abusive relationships

~

Indeed - Job done

~

I've since taken courses at college covering mental health and counselling, and since 2018, I have been a befriendee with GAMH (Glasgow Association for Mental Health, and as a mentor with MCR Pathways since 2022

~

Now, I spend more time behind the camera: producing, directing and scriptwriting, but occasionally I present too

~
Never say never

 ~

There's no such thing as failure. I believe that you just haven't succeeded as yet
