Edith Bowman's biography

At a glance

  • Presenter for major BBC radio stations and television
  • Presented the 2021 BAFTA Film Awards for BBC1
  • ARIA and New York Festivals Radio Award-winning podcast host
Edith Bowman is an award-winning broadcaster, podcast host, and television presenter whose two-decade-long career spans BBC radio, television, and live events. As host of BBC Radio 3's Saturday flagship Sound of Cinema and the daily Cinematic Soundtracks for Radio 3 Unwind, Edith brings genuine film expertise to everything she presents. She is a regular on BBC Radio 2, has fronted content for BBC1, Channel 4, Sky Arts, and MTV, and hosted the 2021 BAFTA Film Awards for BBC1. Her podcast Soundtracking with Edith Bowman, in which she speaks with directors, producers, actors, and composers about the role of music in their work, has won an ARIA Award for Best Specialist Music Show and two Gold trophies at the New York Festivals Radio Awards. Edith's Everyman x Soundtracking film club has attracted contributions from Richard Curtis, Steve McQueen, and Sofia Coppola, demonstrating her ability to draw out compelling conversation from world-class talent in front of an audience. Edith's combination of editorial depth and live broadcast experience translates directly to the events world, too. She has hosted the British Society of Cinematographers Awards, the BAFTA Scotland Awards, the Scottish Music Awards, and the inaugural Ivors Academy Honours. For event organisers, Edith brings warmth, authority, and the ability to hold a room, whether hosting a conference, a ceremony, or a brand-led cultural event. Commercially, she has worked with BMW, Specsavers, and Ring, and has DJ'd for clients including Red Bull and Big Feastival. She is also an Ambassador for Nordoff and Robbins.

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

When booking a speaker, you'll need your event date, audience details, format, key objectives, and budget. Having these ready makes the process smooth and straightforward. PepTalk's team uses this information to match you with the perfect speaker quickly and efficiently.

Can I book podcast guests through PepTalk?

Yes. PepTalk books commercial podcast guests every week of the year. A high-profile voice can boost your podcast's reach and deliver ideas to your audience at scale.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.

Help, I need a last-minute speaker for my event!
