Radio Academy Training Day
Coventry - 27 May 2022

We had a fantastic day in Coventry on 27 May, hosted by Coventry University, with visitors from all across the midlands, and further afield. Our incredible line-up of speakers shared their wisdom, and our delegates got to ask their burning career questions, as well as socialise in the bar afterwards.

Speakers included Greg James (Presenter, Radio 1 Breakfast), David Salt (Regional Content Director, Greatest Hits Radio and Hits Radio, Ushma Mistry (City of Culture Reporter and Producer, BBC CWR), and Rufaro Faith Mazarura (Podcast Producer, Audio Always).
