Follow The Dream

Jordan’s Story

Hi, my name is Jordan Anderton. I am 32 years old, born in April 1990 and raised in Mossley, Tameside. I am a twin to my sister, Sophie.

We were born premature at 28 weeks, and this had complications for my health. I have Cerebral Palsy, Hydrocephalus, Epilepsy and am Short-Sighted. However, I have a positive approach to my disabilities and always look to what I can do, not what I can’t.

Due to the restrictions to what I can do, I believe this has played a huge part in my love for music. I have always enjoyed music, but have extended that
passion by researching artists and genres. I was lucky enough to get a volunteer role at Tameside Radio, and this gave me focus and gave me a sense of belonging and experience working with a team. Sadly, this came to an end due to the pandemic and a change in leadership from someone who believed in me and invested in me. My ambition is to have some role in radio. I have a good sense of humour and good interpersonal skills and can talk the talk with everyone.

I have now been given a chance to record a regular podcast which is based on my dream of interviewing people from the world of media, from radio to social media.

The name of the podcast is Follow The Dream. I hope to eventually interview my radio idol, Amanda Holden, but before I get there I’ll be interviewing other legends on my journey.

Message from the Directors

Jordan is following his dream and hopefully he will be able to inspire others to do the same.

As technology develops, everyone can now be a broadcaster or podcaster, or come to think of it, a YouTuber – which just happen to be the three strands Positive Media Company is focussed on right now.

If any local organisations can help Jordan and others ‘follow their dream’, contact us for a chat!

Enjoy Jordan’s journey of discovery!

Best Wishes,
Positive Media Company CIC
