Gareth Mitchell Talk: Monday 27/11

As well as presenting Click on the BBC World Service, Gareth Mitchell lectures in broadcast and written journalism at Imperial. An Imperial alumnus, he started working at the BBC as a broadcast engineer - but soon swapped for a more creative role. Gareth Mitchell will be giving a talk to IC Radio on Monday 27th of November (with exact time and venue to be decided) - do come along for what is certain to be an engaging talk!

Show of the Week

Our featured broadcast is Real Things, hosted by Sarah Leach. Airing 18:00-19:00 on Fridays, Sarah - from San Francisco - plays a selection of songs to help you get through those long study periods.

Real Things - Listen here!

IC Radio Lunches

We're hosting weekly lunches for you to get to know the IC Radio committee. Come to FiveSixEight from 12:00-13:00 on Tuesdays.

Shadow a Show

If you want to complement your studio training by making a guest appearance on an established show, please get in touch with our Head of Training, Michael Hein (michael.hain16@imperial.ac.uk). Working the studio can be daunting at first - that's why our experienced hosts want to demonstrate that it's really not so scary!

How shows work on IC Radio

All shows are streamed and managed through our website: feel free to get inspired by the recordings available there!

All IC Radio members can book a weekly hour-long slot in the studio. You're then free to do whatever you want with your allotted time: interview some guests, play some music, or even invite some live performers!

Before starting a show, you must have IC Radio membership and you must have completed the studio training course. To sign up for the studio introduction, please email our Head of Training (Michael Hain - michael.hain16@imperial.ac.uk); you should contact our Head of Programming (Thomas Carroll - programming@icradio.com) to reserve your show's slot.

Other benefits of membership
