Dancing Robot Productions was founded by the multiple award-winning journalist Daniel Rosney, after more than a decade presenting, reporting and producing at BBC News.
In 2021 Daniel won the Gold Award for Best News Programme at the Audio Academy ARIA's for '100 Days of Lockdown', a programme he produced three months into the Covid-19 pandemic. The judges said: "50 years from now people will be able to listen to this audio and immediately understand what we went through in 2020".
That same year he won Bronze for Best New Presenter for his work covering the Covid-19 pandemic, holding senior politicians to account, as well as covering the 2020 US Election presenting programmes from Louisiana and Texas.
In 2026 Daniel won Bronze for Best News at the ARIAS for 'Hurricane Melissa: Jamaica's Recovery', BBC Radio 1Xtra Newsbeat's coverage of the aftermath of the most powerful hurricane ever recorded to hit the island.
Daniel regularly presents and produces for BBC World Service, including Business Daily, Witness History and The Inquiry, taking global audiences inside the stories shaping money, history and world affairs. He also presents news coverage for CBC News, Deutsche Welle, and ITN.
Daniel has produced and presented radio and TV programmes all over the world including: Gaza, India, Bangladesh, USA, Israel, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Kosovo, Albania, Luxembourg and Poland.
