Apply for our Winter Radio Broadcasting course

We’re pleased to announce the seventh term of our 8-week beginners course in Radio Broadcasting, run in collaboration with Noods Radio.

Taught and mentored by Noods residents Tilly and Marley, the course will provide 8 women, non-binary and gender non-conforming folks in Bristol with the tools, confidence and space to develop their own idea for a radio show. 

Under the wing of Saffron and Noods’ supportive and creative community, participants will get an introductory guide to creating their own radio show, from planning, recording and editing to marketing, presenting and interview techniques. The course will culminate with a takeover day on Noods, with each participant having the opportunity to showcase their own 1-hour show live on the radio.
