Shaun Keaveny is a British broadcaster known for his engaging radio and television work. He began his career at London's 104.9 XFM, where he hosted a late-night show featuring quirky segments like Reverend Colin Falafel's TV Guide. In 2004, he moved to the mid-morning slot at XFM, developing a distinctive radio style that caught the attention of the BBC.
Shaun joined BBC 6 Music and was promoted to host the Breakfast Show. Over eleven years, he created a popular and innovative programme that resonated with listeners. His television credits include appearances on Richard Osman's House of Games, Pointless, and The Great Exhibition of The North, as well as co-hosting live coverage of the Isle of Wight Festival for Sky Arts.
In January 2019, Shaun launched a new afternoon show, which he hosted until 2021. He now leads the podcast The Line Up, currently in its second series, and has introduced an internet radio show and podcast called SHAUN KEAVENY's CREATIVE CUL-DE-SAC. He frequently co-hosts Saturday Live on BBC Radio 4 and often shares anecdotes, including a humorous claim about Rod Stewart's backing vocals on his 2015 Christmas song, "Please Don't Get Me Anything For Christmas." Shaun is also a sought-after host for corporate events, bringing his unique humour and charm to various occasions.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
