Students from Luton Sixth Form College have taken to the airwaves of the 新澳门六合彩开奖结果's on-campus community radio station, Radio LaB, to present a week of special live programmes.

Part of an annual 鈥楾akeover Show鈥 project with Luton Sixth Form College, students studying BTEC Sound Design and Podcasting produced their own shows live from the studios on the 新澳门六合彩开奖结果鈥檚 Luton campus between 9am 鈥 3pm every weekday.

Over the course of the week, the aspiring DJs and podcasters used their segments to play their favourite tunes and chat about a host of topics including the ongoing Euros tournament. You can listen back to their special programmes which originally aired between Monday 1st and Friday 5th July using Radio LaB鈥檚 鈥極n Demand鈥 feature .

Natalie, one of the participating sixth form students, said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 been so much fun. I was nervous at the start but soon really got into it. I love the fact it was live and people could listen as we were doing it!鈥

Terry Lee, Senior Tutor in Radio & Audio, said: 鈥淩adio LaB is thrilled to host the Luton Sixth Form Takeover once again. It's always inspiring to hear the students' unique perspectives and creative content. Every year, Andy and his team bring a fresh and dynamic approach to their broadcasts, making it a standout event for us. We're proud to provide the radio platform for these talented young individuals to share their voices with the community."

Each year, the 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 teams up with Luton Sixth Form College to deliver this initiative 鈥 which won 鈥楤est Outreach Project鈥 in the I Love Student Radio Awards 2019 鈥 and give a platform to students aspiring for careers in broadcasting.

Andy Waterfield, Luton Sixth Form College media teacher, added: 鈥淚t has become an annual highlight of our academic year. Our students love the chance to experience not just a taste but a whole week of radio, building amazing evidence for the BTEC Sound and Podcasting course. The students this year have worked really hard.鈥
