I’m Pete Goodrum. I’m a writer and broadcaster. As an author I’ve written several books on local history. I frequently broadcast on radio, on a range of subjects. 

There are plans for a podcast. And I do a lot of public speaking, including talks based on my books, and compering duties. I’ve written, and presented, TV documentaries and corporate videos.

I’m a committee member of Poetry at Jurnets.

Wearing my marketing hat I write copy and content for a wide range of clients. If you think I can help you with writing, marketing strategy or broadcasting projects do get in touch.

Copywriter

I write advertising copy and content for a range of clients, and for whatever media are best suited to reach the audience. The marketing mix certainly includes blogs, and I write a lot of blogs.  

Editorials

You’ll find my byline on a lot of magazine articles. I've written a monthly music column; I've done interview pieces with the great and the good. Sometimes you won’t see my name on a piece because I’ve been the ghostwriter. Business leaders and  CEOs ask me to provide the words that convey their thoughts and opinions. People ask me to write or edit their autobiographies.

Books 

Available in all good bookstores and online….I’ve written several books. They’re mostly about  local history. There’s some poetry out there too. Most of my books have, I’m pleased to say, topped the local best seller charts.

Check out my NEW BOOK Secret Great Yarmouth and Gorleston - OUT NOW. Available in good bookstores and online retailers.

Consultant 

My background is in advertising agencies. I always had a foot in both the creative and ‘client facing’ departments. It means  I understand the strategy as well as how to provide creative writing to implement it. I advise clients on their marketing and communications. Very often I’m the one who writes for them too. 

TV / video presenter 

I’ve written and presented films and documentaries. My film ‘Sixteen Minutes’ was the first one to be bought by BBC One from a local tv company. Documentaries I’ve made include ‘Norfolk’s Hidden Gems’ and ‘The History of the Freemen’.  

I’ve appeared as the presenter - sometimes having written them - in promotional videos for subjects as diverse as holidays and photography.  

Radio presenter 

I make regular guest appearances on  BBC radio, covering all sorts of subjects, and usually creating a lot of audience interaction.  In 2023 my radio pal Stephen Bumfrey and I took our radio show onstage - we were ‘live and unplugged’.

I wrote and presented ‘Backtrack’, a music series for Future Radio. I’ve done voice overs too. And now there’s a podcast in the planning.

Public Speaker 

I’m happy to say that  do a lot of public speaking. From talks, often based on my books, to corporate events to compering shows I’ve got bookings for a long time ahead. But there’s always room for more. Please do get in touch.
