On air

After years of preparation and months of research I actually made it onto an RX Radio broadcast!

The fact that I was a last minute fill in for another guest didn’t matter - it gave me a chance to really experience the skill of the RX reporters.

Watching the team deliver their monthly Saturday broadcast showed how all the training I had observed in April, is just the starting point - given a little more time those children could soon be hosting their own shows. Watching the presenters managing their guests, whilst juggling the input from producers and keeping everything on time - with calm and clarity was really impressive.

I am not sure I expected anything less, but to see these children and young people demonstrating a series of skills that any professional broadcaster would be proud of, just reinforced what can be achieved from creating effective opportunities for participation.

We are excited to share more information as the research continues to progress - but for now head to the RX Radio website and listen for yourselves.
