Andrew Graystone

Andrew Graystone accidentally joined the BBC as a producer in 1992, then became a Development Executive responsible for the commissioning of programmes across BBC radio and TV. After leaving the BBC he worked as a media analyst and communications consultant. He has taught communication and ethics at numerous colleges and has worked substantially as a consultant in the voluntary sector, especially focusing on change-management and communications strategy.

Andrew’s book Too Much Information? Ten Essential Questions for Digital Christians was published by Canterbury Press in September 2019.

Andrew is widely regarded amongst broadcasters as both cheap and available. Consequently he appears regularly as a commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live and has written and presented countless short talks for BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 2 and the World Service. He is also chair of The Charnwood Trust, an educational charity based in the North West.

Andrew’s major research interest is in the way that digital culture is changing perceptions of personhood and embodiment. He was awarded an MA from Manchester University in 2012 and is reading for a doctorate at Durham University on the ethics of sex with robots.
