Summary: The Radio Festival is the centrepiece of the UK radio industry’s year and every year Festival Radio is at the heart of this – meeting the big names to find out their take on the day’s events. Every year The Radio Academy invites 10 of UK Radio’s most promising new entrants to participate in “Festival Radio” – this is the result of their second day of audio production. Highlights from the first and second day of the Radio Festival 2013 include: an interview with Charlotte Church who spoke at the John Peel lecture on day 1, audience reaction to BBC Radio 2 presenter Jeremy Vine’s ‘radio nightmares’, Day 2’s The XX Factor session on women in the radio industry featuring former Home Secretary Jacqui Smith and the eagerly awaited #powerofhours session about how radio is working to attract a youth audience.
