“Sound is the most dynamic part of the media industry right now and this is reflected in this extraordinary range of 15-minute documentary or drama productions.

Some topics look into London nightlife, from high-end Mayfair locations to queer ballroom and club culture, and the decline of LGBTQ+ nightlife and safe spaces.

One collection has a musical theme including what inspires young musicians, the connections between music and nostalgia, the music associated with football, and what the balance is between music and noise.

Other items look at the health and social benefits of hiking, and netball. There is an exploration into how the way we speak comes with its own emotional weight, why marriage is on the decline, and the legacy of coal in Wales.

Drama productions include a thriller about a seaside town with a dark secret; and a radio DJ who finds herself trapped in a late-night phone in show.

The students develop skills in teamwork, research, writing and presenting, podcasting, and live radio production while learning to use a wide range of professional technical tools and software.”
