Joe Radford has been an active member of YSTV from 2019 until 2022. In their first year, they were generally known for being a regular presence at [[Writer's Room]], winning [[YSTV Does Hunted]] episode 2 and co-creating of the infamous [[Baby Shark Party]]. Their constant presence in YSTV during first year led many fellow freshers to believe they were actually a second or third year. | |||
Later in their time at York, they were best known for running YSTV during a large portion of the Covid-19 Pandemic, as well as in the transition back to in-person activity. They had two terms as [[Station Director]], first being elected in Winter Term of 2020, following [[Zoe Dickinson]] stepping down. Upon being re-elected in 2021, Joe became the fifth Station Director to have a second term. | |||
Under Joe, YSTV survived a period of extreme turmoil and upheaval. At a time when many student tv stations collapsed, YSTV was able to keep going and create new foundations when regular activity resumed. Although it may seem a bit dramatic to say, it is entirely possible YSTV wouldn’t have made it through the Covid-19 pandemic without Joe. | |||
__FORCETOC__ | Alongside the serious business of running YSTV, Joe also became known as an infamous fan of [[Timewarp]] and [[Marmite]], advocating for them at every opportunity and tearing up the dance floor with [[Rhys Milling]] at either event whenever possible. | ||

After attending the welcome meeting they soon became hooked on the seductive drug of YSTV. At the Give It a Go session in 2019, Joe was a contestant on the YSTV game show [[Riddle Me This]], winning the show (twice since their original winning answer was deemed to have been "too quick"). | ||
Shortly after becoming a member of YSTV Joe was one of the members of YSTV to witness the [[Heslington Bank Robbery]] that occurred beneath [[Zoe Dickinson]]'s flat.

It was also on this trip that they found out that [[Rhys Milling]] was welsh, a revelation that would have ramifications over the remainder of their time at York (and seemingly long after that too). | ||

They co-produced the livestream with [[Zoe Dickinson]], before floor-managing for the stream on the night. Due to changes to fights and unexpected injuries, Joe was forced to think on their feet and find new interviewees quickly throughout the night, in order to keep the show running smoothly. In the aftermath of the stream celebrations were had by way of winning a fight of their own against Zoe and then copious amounts of drinking at Marmite. | ||

Unfortunately, just as all good things must come to an end, so too did Joe's winning streak. On the Drunk Mario Kart edition of [[Boozy Broadcasts]] at the start of second term, Joe (dressed as Mario) played and lost the first race of the night. | ||
At the end of | At the end of their first term, Joe directed and edited the short film [[Nessie]] (written by one [[Jacob Boyle]]). The film received much critical acclaim (ie the highly critical [[Matthew Zeffertt]] liked it) and there was rapturous applause following it's preview at a YSTV production meeting. | ||
In second Term Joe continued to take on notable producing roles. | In second Term Joe continued to take on notable producing roles. They took over as [[Head of Behind the Streams]] and took on several producing roles for [[Elections 2020]]. They solely produced the Debate Night and infamously the stream went flawlessly. They then co-produced and floor managed ERN. | ||
[[File:MMA2020.png| | [[File:MMA2020.png|245x245px|thumb|left|The crew of the MMA 2020 Stream]] | ||
The most significant production of Joe’s first year was the MMA Fight Night 2020. They were on the back foot from the beginning, due to the date of the event clashing with [[Zoe Dickinson]]'s 2nd year film and her stealing nearly all of the potential crew members. Understaffed they soldiered on, organising the rigging of the stream and all the technical aspects themself (to acclaim from Tech Director [[Andrew Waddle]]). The stream itself was a wondrous piece of art. The exceptional quality of filming aided by Joe's directing finesse led to a stream for the ages, lifting the standards for all future boxing streams. | |||
Early on in second term, when the news broke that Coronavirus had reached York, Joe was one of the members of YSTV to be interviewed by Sky News. Following the interview, they worked as camera op and editor on a video about the Coronavirus, which was to include interviews with students saying that they didn't think it was anything to worry about. Luckily this video was never released as it turned out that Coronavirus was something to worry about. | |||
Joe also worked on YSTV's [[Come Dine With Me]] primarily Sound Op-ing for two of the episodes and leading the editing of the project too. Although no one asked them, they would have to say the overall quality of the episodes massively improved once he joined the crew. | |||

At the end of second term, Joe and [[Caroline Preynat-Viero]] hosted the infamous [[Baby Shark Party]]. It was an insane night that will be hailed for decades as something that no one really knows quite why it happened or indeed what actually happened there. Joe put excessive amounts of producing into the event, ordering decorations and organising a session of "Sharks and Crafts," in which people could create their own shark costumes or decorations for the event | At the end of second term, Joe and [[Caroline Preynat-Viero]] hosted the infamous [[Baby Shark Party]].

Joe had many things planned for | Joe had many things planned for their Third Term at YSTV including productions that were postponed, or adapted into alternative projects or all together scrapped due to the outbreak of Coronavirus and the imposed lockdown. Most significantly they were supposed to begin their pet project the [[YSTVCU]]. Due to this Joe became involved with several of the Quarantine shows that were produced from home such as [[Quarantine Weekly]], Riddle Riddle (which was never actually made) and Animated short stories (which also never reached completion). | ||
At the 2020 Elections, Joe won the role of [[Head of Marketing]] becoming the first to do so. | At the 2020 Elections, Joe won the role of [[Head of Marketing]] becoming the first to do so. They quickly began to develop YSTV's social media presence, by increasing the regularity of posting and ensuring the online branding was consistent. Alongside [[Ben Allen]] they revamped YSTV's entire online branding, unifying several styles to make everything consistent across platforms. (See [[YSTV Branding 2020]].) | ||

[[File:Celebrating NaSTA 2020.jpg|left|thumb|220x220px|Celebrating NaSTA 2020 at [[Zoë Dickinson]]'s house]] | |||
In Joe's second year, beginning as [[Head of Marketing]], they completed the [[YSTV Branding 2020]] and implemented it for welcome week 2020. Along with that, they worked on the preparations for the [[Freshers 2020|Freshers Stream 2020]], along with creating all the marketing assets for it. | |||
Also during the first term, they began work on an Untitled Quarantine Weekly Sequel Show (which later became [[Oranges and Lemons]], alongside [[Zoe Dickinson]]). The plan was for it to operate bi-weekly beginning from Week 5 and run initially until Week 11 of term 1. The first episode, which was a Halloween themed episode, debuted to much success. Trying to keep the show running often became difficult due to the fact that a second coronavirus lockdown was introduced after only one episode had gone out. However, with a lot of perseverance, Joe (together with Zoe and many wonderful producers) succeeded in completing the initial run of the show. | |||
[[File:Rhys and Joe at the Charles.jpg|thumb|237x237px|[[Rhys Milling]] and Joe at the Charles]] | |||
In Week 6 of Term 1, Joe was elected as [[Station Director]], following [[Zoe Dickinson]] stepping down the week before. Whilst this was an exciting prospect at first, they were immediately dropped in the deep end. The day after they were elected was Media Committee and two days later a second national lockdown began. Joe very quickly got to terms with the responsibilities entailed in station directing and began attempting to hold everything together as much as they could. Through talking to YUSU, they secured access to the studio for kit distribution and also YSTV were allowed to continue to film outdoors in pairs. Meaning that at least they hadn't failed in their new job within the first two days. | |||
Towards the end of the first term, Joe also began to partake in online live shows, most importantly, [[YSTV on the Rocks]] - which they co-created with Sophie - and producing one final Christmas themed episode of [[Oranges and Lemons]]. | |||
[[File:Elections 2021 Aftermath.jpg|left|thumb|204x204px|Elections 2021 Aftermath]] | |||
With second term being entirely online, Joe, alongside newly-elected [[Production Director]] and partner-in-crime, [[Alize Akturk]], began working on developing more online livestreams. [[YSTV on the Rocks]] continued, as well as creating [[Meme Stream Media]] and coming up with the idea for [[Society Scoop]]. The term was mostly dominated by YSTV's coverage of the [[Elections 2021|YUSU Elections 2021]]. This was co-ordinated entirely online, but was a fantastic success. ERN saw a special elections edition of [[YSTV on the Rocks]] featured in the After-Show and saw Joe running around between different places to deliver kit for the night. | |||
[[File:Joe at the Roses Unlocked Opening Ceremony.jpg|thumb|200x200px|Joe at the Roses Unlocked Opening Ceremony]] | |||
The end of second term, Easter Break and the start of third term were all heavily dominated by [[Roses 2021]], officially known as Roses Unlocked. This Roses worked differently from most others, involving digitally assisted fixtures, that took place simultaneously in both York and Lancaster, being linked together by the coverage of YSTV and LA1TV. Joe led the coverage as Roses Lead and headed up the planning and the weekend itself. A gargantuan effort, involving 38 YSTV crew members (only 3 of whom had worked on a Roses before) and ultimately a huge success. Despite some setbacks, with one stream that didn't go live and a key member who dropped out on Saturday morning, Joe worked with the incredible team to hold everything together and ensure that things ran smoothly from that point onwards (which they were mostly successful in doing). | |||
[[File:Roses Unlocked Management Team.jpg|left|thumb|200x200px|Roses Unlocked Management Team]] | |||
Following the Chaos of [[Roses 2021]], Joe then went on an excursion to Surrey for a day to return some hired cameras, only to return home and immediately run AGM of 2021. This event, much to Joe's testament for planning it two days after Roses, lasted less than 2 hours and is very possibly the shortest AGM in YSTV's history. | |||
In YSTV's 2021 elections, Joe was successfully re-elected as Station Director, making them the fifth to receive a second term. Following re-election, and now a part of [[The Big Five]], Joe set about to bring YSTV back into life as much as possible, with the pandemic at long last gradually thawing. They assisted with the Eurovision after shows, ran the FLOPPYs alongside [[Sophie Bolwell-Davies]], and produced YSTV's coverage of the [[Love York Awards]]. It was at the Love York Awards that YSTV won Student Group of the Year, which is still perhaps Joe's proudest achievement. They also won Highly Commended for Best Sport Journalist at the Colours Ball for their work on Roses Unlocked. | |||
As the year came to an end, Joe could not have been prouder with what YSTV had been able to achieve in a year that saw it face so many difficulties. The resilience of his incredible team became particularly clear as they and [[Max Roach]] co-ordinated NaSTA entries over the summer break. | |||
Towards the end of the Summer, Joe began work on the [[Fit For Another World - The Legacy of Anne Lister]] as Director of Photography. | |||

After graduating University, Joe continued to visit York regularly for the next year. Joe was always eager to come back to visit YSTV to see how the next generation were getting on (as well as occasionally getting dragged into helping with something). They couldn't be prouder of the work that [[Meg Maguire]], [[Liv Woodward]], [[Max Roach]] and [[Beth Marsch]] in particular were doing running YSTV after them. | |||
They received a job offer from [[Edwin Barnes]], who they had met whilst running YSTV, and began to work for Moorhen Media. Moorhen Media was in many ways a direct result of YSTV with all three employees when Joe joined (the other being [[Pete Bowles]] of lighting rig fame) having been the Station Director of YSTV at one time or another. | |||

[[File:Joe and Beth at NaSTA 2023.jpg|left|thumb|93x93px|Joe and Beth at NaSTA 2023]] | |||
In November 2022, the whole Moorhen Media team, along with a plethora of other alumni, headed back to York for the 55th anniversary celebrations. Joe in particular got very involved with the 48 hour livestream that took place over the weekend - producing several segments and also having a date with them sold for charity (the lucky winner of that date was [[Matthew Zeffertt]] - the date still has yet to take place). | |||
The following year in April 2023, Joe joined the next generation of YSTV in attending NaSTA 2023 at Ravensbourne University. Despite being NaSTA's secretary, they spent the majority of the Weekend with YSTV, catching up with old friends and making some new ones too. They were very proud to take home the Silver Award for Event Coverage for their work on [[Roses 2022]] and the Gold Award for Best Documentary for [[Fit For Another World - The Legacy of Anne Lister]]. Later that same month Joe returned to YSTV once again to lend a hand with [[Roses 2023]], getting to experience a proper home Roses for the first time. | |||

Joe Radford has been an active member of YSTV from 2019 until 2022. In their first year, they were generally known for being a regular presence at Writer's Room, winning YSTV Does Hunted episode 2 and co-creating of the infamous Baby Shark Party. Their constant presence in YSTV during first year led many fellow freshers to believe they were actually a second or third year.
Later in their time at York, they were best known for running YSTV during a large portion of the Covid-19 Pandemic, as well as in the transition back to in-person activity. They had two terms as Station Director, first being elected in Winter Term of 2020, following Zoe Dickinson stepping down. Upon being re-elected in 2021, Joe became the fifth Station Director to have a second term.
Under Joe, YSTV survived a period of extreme turmoil and upheaval. At a time when many student tv stations collapsed, YSTV was able to keep going and create new foundations when regular activity resumed. Although it may seem a bit dramatic to say, it is entirely possible YSTV wouldn’t have made it through the Covid-19 pandemic without Joe.
Alongside the serious business of running YSTV, Joe also became known as an infamous fan of Timewarp and Marmite, advocating for them at every opportunity and tearing up the dance floor with Rhys Milling at either event whenever possible.

Origins
Joe first encountered YSTV in V-Bar whilst they were filming Zoe and Johnny's Drunk Diaries. After attending the welcome meeting they soon became hooked on the seductive drug of YSTV. At the Give It a Go session in 2019, Joe was a contestant on the YSTV game show Riddle Me This, winning the show (twice since their original winning answer was deemed to have been "too quick").
Shortly after becoming a member of YSTV Joe was one of the members of YSTV to witness the Heslington Bank Robbery that occurred beneath Zoe Dickinson's flat. The event has since been deemed significant as one of the reasons that they were able to integrate with YSTV so quickly.
Early on in their YSTV career, Joe also participated in a trip to Brimham Rocks, when Olivia famously crashed the Van on the way home. It was also on this trip that they found out that Rhys Milling was welsh, a revelation that would have ramifications over the remainder of their time at York (and seemingly long after that too).
First Year
Joe's first major producing role was on the Boxing/MMA Fight Night 2019. They co-produced the livestream with Zoe Dickinson, before floor-managing for the stream on the night. Due to changes to fights and unexpected injuries, Joe was forced to think on their feet and find new interviewees quickly throughout the night, in order to keep the show running smoothly. In the aftermath of the stream celebrations were had by way of winning a fight of their own against Zoe and then copious amounts of drinking at Marmite.
Joe's winning streak continued when they won YSTV Does Hunted Episode 2 with Olivia Gibbs totally outsmarting all of the hunters, putting all the other huntees to shame and most impressively outrunning Matthew Zeffertt. Unfortunately, just as all good things must come to an end, so too did Joe's winning streak. On the Drunk Mario Kart edition of Boozy Broadcasts at the start of second term, Joe (dressed as Mario) played and lost the first race of the night.
At the end of their first term, Joe directed and edited the short film Nessie (written by one Jacob Boyle). The film received much critical acclaim (ie the highly critical Matthew Zeffertt liked it) and there was rapturous applause following it's preview at a YSTV production meeting.
In second Term Joe continued to take on notable producing roles. They took over as Head of Behind the Streams and took on several producing roles for Elections 2020. They solely produced the Debate Night and infamously the stream went flawlessly. They then co-produced and floor managed ERN.
The most significant production of Joe’s first year was the MMA Fight Night 2020. They were on the back foot from the beginning, due to the date of the event clashing with Zoe Dickinson's 2nd year film and her stealing nearly all of the potential crew members. Understaffed they soldiered on, organising the rigging of the stream and all the technical aspects themself (to acclaim from Tech Director Andrew Waddle). The stream itself was a wondrous piece of art. The exceptional quality of filming aided by Joe's directing finesse led to a stream for the ages, lifting the standards for all future boxing streams.
Early on in second term, when the news broke that Coronavirus had reached York, Joe was one of the members of YSTV to be interviewed by Sky News. Following the interview, they worked as camera op and editor on a video about the Coronavirus, which was to include interviews with students saying that they didn't think it was anything to worry about. Luckily this video was never released as it turned out that Coronavirus was something to worry about.
Joe also worked on YSTV's Come Dine With Me primarily Sound Op-ing for two of the episodes and leading the editing of the project too. Although no one asked them, they would have to say the overall quality of the episodes massively improved once he joined the crew.
At the end of second term, Joe and Caroline Preynat-Viero hosted the infamous Baby Shark Party. It was an insane night that will be hailed for decades as something that no one really knows quite why it happened or indeed what actually happened there. Joe put excessive amounts of producing into the event, ordering decorations and organising a session of "Sharks and Crafts," in which people could create their own shark costumes or decorations for the event.
Throughout second term, Joe was forced to take on roles usually completed by the committee due to members being absent, this included running Writer's Room and Production Meetings.
Joe had many things planned for their Third Term at YSTV including productions that were postponed, or adapted into alternative projects or all together scrapped due to the outbreak of Coronavirus and the imposed lockdown. Most significantly they were supposed to begin their pet project the YSTVCU. Due to this Joe became involved with several of the Quarantine shows that were produced from home such as Quarantine Weekly, Riddle Riddle (which was never actually made) and Animated short stories (which also never reached completion).
At the 2020 Elections, Joe won the role of Head of Marketing becoming the first to do so. They quickly began to develop YSTV's social media presence, by increasing the regularity of posting and ensuring the online branding was consistent. Alongside Ben Allen they revamped YSTV's entire online branding, unifying several styles to make everything consistent across platforms. (See YSTV Branding 2020.)
Second Year
In Joe's second year, beginning as Head of Marketing, they completed the YSTV Branding 2020 and implemented it for welcome week 2020. Along with that, they worked on the preparations for the Freshers Stream 2020, along with creating all the marketing assets for it.
Also during the first term, they began work on an Untitled Quarantine Weekly Sequel Show (which later became Oranges and Lemons, alongside Zoe Dickinson). The plan was for it to operate bi-weekly beginning from Week 5 and run initially until Week 11 of term 1. The first episode, which was a Halloween themed episode, debuted to much success. Trying to keep the show running often became difficult due to the fact that a second coronavirus lockdown was introduced after only one episode had gone out. However, with a lot of perseverance, Joe (together with Zoe and many wonderful producers) succeeded in completing the initial run of the show.
In Week 6 of Term 1, Joe was elected as Station Director, following Zoe Dickinson stepping down the week before. Whilst this was an exciting prospect at first, they were immediately dropped in the deep end. The day after they were elected was Media Committee and two days later a second national lockdown began. Joe very quickly got to terms with the responsibilities entailed in station directing and began attempting to hold everything together as much as they could. Through talking to YUSU, they secured access to the studio for kit distribution and also YSTV were allowed to continue to film outdoors in pairs. Meaning that at least they hadn't failed in their new job within the first two days.
Towards the end of the first term, Joe also began to partake in online live shows, most importantly, YSTV on the Rocks - which they co-created with Sophie - and producing one final Christmas themed episode of Oranges and Lemons.
With second term being entirely online, Joe, alongside newly-elected Production Director and partner-in-crime, Alize Akturk, began working on developing more online livestreams. YSTV on the Rocks continued, as well as creating Meme Stream Media and coming up with the idea for Society Scoop. The term was mostly dominated by YSTV's coverage of the YUSU Elections 2021. This was co-ordinated entirely online, but was a fantastic success. ERN saw a special elections edition of YSTV on the Rocks featured in the After-Show and saw Joe running around between different places to deliver kit for the night.
The end of second term, Easter Break and the start of third term were all heavily dominated by Roses 2021, officially known as Roses Unlocked. This Roses worked differently from most others, involving digitally assisted fixtures, that took place simultaneously in both York and Lancaster, being linked together by the coverage of YSTV and LA1TV. Joe led the coverage as Roses Lead and headed up the planning and the weekend itself. A gargantuan effort, involving 38 YSTV crew members (only 3 of whom had worked on a Roses before) and ultimately a huge success. Despite some setbacks, with one stream that didn't go live and a key member who dropped out on Saturday morning, Joe worked with the incredible team to hold everything together and ensure that things ran smoothly from that point onwards (which they were mostly successful in doing).
Following the Chaos of Roses 2021, Joe then went on an excursion to Surrey for a day to return some hired cameras, only to return home and immediately run AGM of 2021. This event, much to Joe's testament for planning it two days after Roses, lasted less than 2 hours and is very possibly the shortest AGM in YSTV's history.
In YSTV's 2021 elections, Joe was successfully re-elected as Station Director, making them the fifth to receive a second term. Following re-election, and now a part of The Big Five, Joe set about to bring YSTV back into life as much as possible, with the pandemic at long last gradually thawing. They assisted with the Eurovision after shows, ran the FLOPPYs alongside Sophie Bolwell-Davies, and produced YSTV's coverage of the Love York Awards. It was at the Love York Awards that YSTV won Student Group of the Year, which is still perhaps Joe's proudest achievement. They also won Highly Commended for Best Sport Journalist at the Colours Ball for their work on Roses Unlocked.
As the year came to an end, Joe could not have been prouder with what YSTV had been able to achieve in a year that saw it face so many difficulties. The resilience of his incredible team became particularly clear as they and Max Roach co-ordinated NaSTA entries over the summer break.
Towards the end of the Summer, Joe began work on the Fit For Another World - The Legacy of Anne Lister as Director of Photography.

After graduating University, Joe continued to visit York regularly for the next year. Joe was always eager to come back to visit YSTV to see how the next generation were getting on (as well as occasionally getting dragged into helping with something). They couldn't be prouder of the work that Meg Maguire, Liv Woodward, Max Roach and Beth Marsch in particular were doing running YSTV after them.
They received a job offer from Edwin Barnes, who they had met whilst running YSTV, and began to work for Moorhen Media. Moorhen Media was in many ways a direct result of YSTV with all three employees when Joe joined (the other being Pete Bowles of lighting rig fame) having been the Station Director of YSTV at one time or another.
In November 2022, the whole Moorhen Media team, along with a plethora of other alumni, headed back to York for the 55th anniversary celebrations. Joe in particular got very involved with the 48 hour livestream that took place over the weekend - producing several segments and also having a date with them sold for charity (the lucky winner of that date was Matthew Zeffertt - the date still has yet to take place).
The following year in April 2023, Joe joined the next generation of YSTV in attending NaSTA 2023 at Ravensbourne University. Despite being NaSTA's secretary, they spent the majority of the Weekend with YSTV, catching up with old friends and making some new ones too. They were very proud to take home the Silver Award for Event Coverage for their work on Roses 2022 and the Gold Award for Best Documentary for Fit For Another World - The Legacy of Anne Lister. Later that same month Joe returned to YSTV once again to lend a hand with Roses 2023, getting to experience a proper home Roses for the first time.

Once Planned, But Long Abandoned Productions
Joe once hoped to launch the YSTVCU. It would have began with Andy Goes to the Moon and Matt-Man. The two productions were unfortunately postponed due to the pandemic and never quite came to fruition. Other potential YSTVCU films included "Rhys fixing a computer", "Johnny is 3 guys in a trench coat", "Manu opens a hotel" and "Olivia gets banned from Sainsbury's".
Joe once planned to produce YSTV's own version of the show Taskmaster which has been dubbed "Masktaster" to avoid copyright infringement. The show has since been passed on to Freshers who may one day make the show.
Plans for a YSTV show dubbed as CAMP YSTV, that Joe was producing with Olivia Gibbs have been put on hold indefinitely.
