William Miller is the founder of Raconteur Studios, where he executive produces much of the company’s output and can occasionally be heard presenting some of its programmes.

He has spent more than 40 years working across television, radio and media as a producer, media executive and entrepreneur. His career has taken him from making factual programmes for major UK and US television networks to running media businesses, working with high-profile talent and developing content, brands and intellectual property.

William started his career in television production before, at the age of 20, becoming Managing Director of the independent production company Uden Associates at 25. In 2000 he joined Condé Nast as Director of Digital, launching the first websites for Vogue, Glamour, Condé Nast Traveller and GQ.

In 2001 he joined forces with Nigella Lawson as her business partner, establishing Pabulum Media. The company produced Nigella’s television programmes and built and managed her global retail brand, Living Kitchen. After eventually being bought out of Pabulum, William established a consultancy working with major retailers and media companies around the world to develop brands, products and businesses from media properties and talent.

In 2008 he joined BBC Worldwide as Global Head of Talent working as an entrepreneurial partner to high-profile on-screen talent both in the UK and internationally, helping them develop their own IP, brands and businesses.

William left BBC Worldwide in 2014 to establish Raconteur Associates, a content development and talent and IP consultancy. In 2022 he began producing and presenting radio programmes for the BBC, and in 2024 spun the radio and podcasting operation out as a standalone company, Raconteur Studios.

William is also a bestselling author. His memoir, Gloucester Crescent: Me, My Dad and Other Grown-Ups, tells the story of his unconventional childhood and is currently being adapted for television.

Throughout his career, William has been interested in finding talented people with great ideas and helping turn those ideas into programmes, businesses and brands.
