“Extraordinarily powerful radio. At its heart it had a terrific story to tell: the reconciliation of Paul Erasmus, a former member of the South African secret police and Roger Lucey, a musician banned and persecuted under the regime….Kampfner’s excellent programme highlighted the tremendous generosity of forgiveness.”

The Guardian about the BBC radio 4 music documentary "Tuning into the Enemy"

”It was the gathering together of these fragile reminiscences that lent this Afternoon play such unusual depth.”

The Guardian about R4 play "Imagining Them"

“Judith Kampfner unfolds a horrific story of women in domestic service in Singapore, Hong Kong, Latin America and around the world. What she pursues are ways in which women who go abroad to work can be better protected. Why are their rights ignored?”

The Daily Telegraph about BBC World Service "Maids: the Untold Story"

“Only Kampfner's voice, an unusual sensual treat, blending soft, confident and just a tiny bit hesitant, was alluring. That, and journalism in its most admirable mode.”

The Guardian

"The effect of Mike Walker’s adaptation was heightened by “ stunning sound design, meriting a special mention for producer Judith Kampfner. I am a terrible coward and ocne or twice the sound was so realistic that it made me want to tear off my headphones - the aural equivalent of hiding behind the sofa.”

Tom Robinson on The Veldt in Radio 4’s Pick of the Week

"I had the great pleasure yesterday of hearing Judith Kampfner's wonderful hour long documentary on the making of Baz Luhrmann's La Boheme. In fact I heard it twice. The first broadcast was mid-day and my attention was divided: fortunately, I tuned back in to WNYC in the evening, only to get lucky and hear it again! It was great. I'm a Baz Luhrmann fan  and love that opera: fantastic work."
