The 台湾六合彩开奖记录鈥檚 award-winning community radio station, Radio LaB, has once again opened its doors to local students to help inspire the next generation of aspiring radio DJs and podcasters.

Part of an annual project for Luton Sixth Form College, students studying the Sound Design and Podcasting BTEC, broadcasted their award-winning Takeover Show live over two days.

These were then broadcast live from the studios, based on the University鈥檚 Luton campus.

Terry Lee, Senior Tutor in Radio & Audio and co-ordinator of Radio LaB said: 鈥淩adio LaB is a platform for young Lutonians to have their voices heard 鈥 and we always love hearing what the Luton Sixth Form students have to say! Every year the students prepare excellent content. It鈥檚 a real highlight for us, and I鈥檓 delighted we can offer them the experience of using our broadcast studios to go live across the town.鈥

Each year, the University teams up with Luton Sixth Form College to give pupils a chance to air their content to a real audience as part of their assessments. In 2019, the Takeover Show and Radio LaB won an award for 鈥楤est Outreach Project鈥 in the听I Love Student Radio Awards.

Andy Waterfield, Luton Sixth Form College media teacher, added: 鈥淭his was so exciting. Once again Radio LaB allowed students from Luton Sixth Form to showcase their talent live on air as well as their amazing production skills and professionalism in a real world setting. It's an amazing vocational experience.鈥
