We love to get participants their foot in the door in the radio & media industry. Our 'Intro to Radio & Podcasting' is the bread and butter of the Academy. A course designed to throw you in the deep end of radio and show you all the different roles it takes to make a station come to life.

The course (all dependent on the funder) could be anything from 3 full days to 5 half days and shows you a proper inside look at the industry and the jobs that you could be in the future. The course layout is bespoke per funder, but could follow the layout below over a certain number of days

1. Introduction to radio and how to become a radio presenter

2. Show content & news presenter skills

3. Other roles in radio & music

4. CV workshops and media job searching

5. Storytelling with award-winning podcasters, authors and broadcast journalists

6. Radio advert creation

7. Podcast creation ideas on a subject of their choice

8. A session exploring the next stage progression, tailored to the specific needs of each participant, including creating their podcasts.

We like you to take the work you've created home with you to start to hep in your media career. Below are some examples of what participants have produced:
