Community Radio Awards 2021 – Judges’ Verdict

Following our placing in the Podcast of the Year category, DWS Audio was delighted to receive the following comments from the judges about our drama serial ROUGH DIAMONDS:

“This is a really ambitious project – drama is the most difficult thing to pull off in my experience – and clearly the students involved rose to the challenge with a really excellent drama.”

“Great writing and performances – highly relevant for target audience. Kept my attention. Keep it up!”

“What a fantastic school project! I am very impressed to hear this audio drama entry, it is really well made and the students are excellent actors. All in all, an excellent entry. Well done.”

“This is fabulous! Strong radio drama acting from young performers, excellent sound design and soundscapes and overall, the production maintains a consistently strong feel. If this is just one example of the type of audio DWS Audio are helping school pupils to produce, then they have definitely set the bar for others to follow. Well done! I genuinely enjoyed this and 5 mins were not enough!”
