Gareth also works as a presenter and radio producer. He’s part of the writing team for Radio Wales's Welcome Strangers and Clonc, and BBC Wales show The Tourist Trap starring Sally Phillips and Sian Harries and wrote three series of Radio 4 sitcom Ankle Tag.

He has been part of the writing teams for Top Gear, Have I Got News For You, S4C’s annual news review O’r Diwedd, and the Radio Academy award-winning Here Be Dragons (BBC Radio Wales). He writes on The Now Show and The News Quiz, both for Radio 4, and appears regularly on the former.
