It’s incredible to think that our audio blog is now six years old! The students have created so much fabulous content over the years and won several awards along the way. Having our work regularly feature on BBC Radio Kent and BBC Sounds has also been a thrill.
As we look forward to our seventh year we have more exciting content planned. Look out for two brand new drama serials featuring members of our Blackbox Theatre Company. We’re also planning to record an ‘as live’ radio play just like they used to do in the old days!
Happy listening in 2024!
