Edith Bowman is an award-winning radio broadcaster, podcast host and television presenter.
Born and raised in Anstruther, Fife, Edith worked at her parent’s hotel before going on to study for a degree at Edinburgh’s Queen Margaret College and then working in local radio as both a producer and presenter for two years.
Her broadcasting career has flourished over more than two decades and she is now one of the most well-respected and sought after personalities in the film, television and audio industry.
Having sent her showreel to MTV, she was immediately signed up to work on MTV’s Daily Edition, as a newshound. This led to her co-presenting MTV’s Hitlist UK with another, then unknown, presenter Cat Deeley. Capital FM subsequently signed the pair up to present Cat And Edith’s Hit Music Sunday.
In 2003 Edith was co-host of the Colin And Edith Show on Radio 1 with Colin Murray. She flew solo in 2006, with her weekday Edith Bowman Show before moving to the Weekend Breakfast Show in 2008.
2013 saw Edith and Colin reunite for a 7 week run of The Bump Club for Radio 5 Live. In 2013 she also hosted the BBC Radio 6 Music show every Saturday morning as well as the Sony Gold Award winning BBC Radio 1 Review Show every Tuesday.
In 2015 Edith presented The Quay Sessions every Thursday on BBC Scotland as well as regular Screen 6 Specials for Radio 6 Music.
Edith’s television presenting roles have included the BAFTA Scotland Awards, the BBC’s television festival coverage of Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds and T In The Park as well as co-anchoring BBC1’s live coverage of the Royal Wedding.
A huge movie fan and respected film presenter and reviewer, Edith is regularly called upon to host Q&A’s and premieres for all the major film companies.
She presented the Scottish BAFTA’s for four years running and the BBC America red carpet coverage for The Britannia Awards in LA.
Edith has written for Clash Magazine, British Airways High Life Magazine, Elle Magazine and Balance Magazine.
In 2016, Edith launched her ARIA & New York Festivals Radio Award Winning podcast ‘Soundtracking’ where Edith talks to directors, actors, writers and composers about their relationship with music, both professionally and personally.
