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. | Under Joe, YSTV survived a period of extreme turmoil and upheaval.

Alongside the serious business of running YSTV, Joe also became known as an infamous fan of [[Timewarp]] | 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. | ||

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"). | [[File:Joes_at_Zoes.jpg|249x249px|thumb|Joe and Joe at Zoe's "Pirates, Priests, Postmen and Pornstars" Party, 2019|alt=|left]]Joe first encountered YSTV in V-Bar whilst they were filming [[Zoe and Johnny's Drunk Diaries]].

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. | 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.

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. | In second Term Joe continued to take on notable producing roles.

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. | The most significant production of Joe’s first year was the MMA Fight Night 2020.

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. | 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.

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. | 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.

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]].
