Profile Information

Name
Chantal Cooke
Occupation: Current Company
Passion for the Planet
More Info About Me:
Hi, I'm Chantal and I'm co-founder and owner of DAB digital radio station 'Passion for the Planet' - the UK's only radio station dedicated to a "green and healthy" lifestyle, with an eclectic mix of adult contemporary and World Music. Have a listen at www.passionfortheplanet.com.

I'm absolutely passionate about the power of radio, about the environment and about taking responsibility for our health.

My dream was to own a radio station, but not just another radio station with the typical mix of pop music and celebrity gossip. I wanted to create something new - a radio station that would deal with health, personal development and environmental issues; that would be entertaining, informative and inspiring, balanced with great music from around the world; 'Passion for the Planet'.

'Passion for the Planet' began broadcasting on 10 September 2002, we reach 120,000 people per week. Passion offers a unique blend of music and information that can't be heard on any other radio station in the UK.

In 2004 Passion for the Planet received a Special commendation for the Best Radio Feature of Current Affairs programme at the British Environment and Media Awards and in both 2006 and 2008 Passion received a commemdation in the Green Guardian Green Business Awards. And in 2007 I was awarded a commendation in the Triodos Bank Women in Ethical Business Awards.

I've worked in radio all my life: from independent production companies to producing programmes for Virgin Radio and the BBC, and presenting with a number of commercial stations, including fronting the breakfast show for a station in Geneva. I've also launched half a dozen radio stations - in the UK, across Europe and on DAB in London.

I've been a passionate advocate for health and environmental issues for many years but frustrated by the lack of information available through mainstream media. Our aim in developing 'Passion for the Planet' is to fill this void with inspiring solutions to issues that reflect the concerns of individuals, presented in an entertaining format of interviews, combined with an eclectic mix of music.

'Passion for the Planet' is available on DAB digital radio across London and the South of England and nationwide on the Internet at www.passionfortheplanet.com. It would be great if you can join us.

If you would like to discover more and would like to interact with other listeners, you can now join the Passion for the Planet Club - which is live, here on Ecademy.

So how may Passion for the Planet be able help you?

* We can help you reach over 120,000 ABC1 adults each week through a range of cost effective advertising packages.
* We can produce compelling, high quality podcasts to help you market your business and build your subscriber base.
* We can help you produce a range of professional audio products that both promote your services and provide you with a residual income (have a chat with Richard White at Pro-Excellence or Marie-Claire Carlyle at Miracle Club, both are Ecademy members, to find out how we helped them)
* And finally, I run regular workshops to show business people how to get themselves on the TV, radio and in the Press. Details of my next workshop are "How to get Free Publicity on TV, Radio and in Print".

I'd love to meet you...

How my job changed my life and my health

I’ve been with Passion for the Planet for over a year now. Did I see myself working here a year? The short answer, to begin with, was no.

Let me explain. I didn’t apply for the job. I didn’t want a job in media and I wasn’t environmentally friendly… full story from PASSION for the PLANET’s Helen Chapman.

Fancy a drink?

Below is Passion for the Planet's blog - read more here.

Millions of people in the UK spend millions of pounds on bottled water every year. And we’re being sold a scam… so let’s just clear something up;

By opting for tap water over bottles you can help the ENVIRONMENT, YOUR POCKET and YOUR HEALTH!


Now, if all this is true then why is bottled water such a successful industry? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out that it i… Continue

Getting relationships wrong hurts.

Below is Passion for the Planet's blog - read more here.

And when it’s our relationship with the world we live in it hurts more than just us.

Everything we do affects our world. Smile, don’t smile. Praise, criticise. Vote, stay at home. Buy fair trade, buy the cheapest. Think profit, think it through.

Personal or planet-wide, decisions and actions have consequences.

For example… too many sheep means higher insurance premiums, buyi… Continue

Hi Chantal, welcome to MediaStarz. Why not put a Passion For The Planet Podcast on your music player here and perhaps we'd put it on the home page then and let everyone hear your digital radio station broadcasts here. Enjoy the site, do please invite friends and colleagues and spread the word and any good events to know about whether biz or social add them to the Events Calendar too. Cheers! Jon
