Producer

Carol Zall has been with The World since 2006. She loves the daily challenge of finding the right interviewee for a breaking story, and then turning the interview around for broadcast in a short time. Zall also enjoys working on cultural and literary stories for the program, and produces many of The World’s book features.

Before coming to The World, Zall worked in the Gaelic Department of BBC Scotland, where she was part of the team behind “Eòrpa,” an award-winning television program about European current affairs. She also worked on a number of Gaelic radio programs, including a series of radio documentaries which took her all over the Highlands and islands of Scotland.

In addition to her broadcast experience, Zall has worked as a freelance writer and columnist. In 2003, she was named Gaelic Writer of the Year at the Scottish Press Awards for her print journalism – the first time the award was given to a non-native Gaelic speaker.

Despite her unofficial status as The World’s “Scottish Desk,” Zall is not actually from Scotland…. she just lived there for a long time, which explains a lot.
