The show, TX’ing from 11pm-2am saw the hosts take questions from listeners, talk about their favourite tracks of the year with amazing chat and banging tunes, it was the culmination of a lot of hard work and talent. Make sure you listen back to the show here.
To round up a very exciting week of events, the Folded Wing production team joined Gemma Bradley (BBC Introducing on Radio 1) and Alyx Holcombe (BBC Introducing Rock on Radio 1) as part of a panel discussing How to Get Into Radio. The guests tackled questions from SRA (Stuent Radio Association) members on topics such as what makes a good show, turning job experience into job opportunities and lots more. The brilliantly insightful session was feat. on ATL Introducing hosted by the very same Gemma Bradley. To hear how it went, listen back here.
