ARIAS 2025, RAJARs & Radio 3's Renaissance
Sam Jackson and Aradhna Tayal Leach join Matt at the ARIAS
We’re on location for this week’s episode of The Media Club, heading to Leicester Square for the radio industry’s annual awards - the ARIAS. It was quite a day for radio as RAJAR, the quarterly audience figures, were out too.
Joining me on the show is the Controller of BBC Radio 3 & The Proms - Sam Jackson - who at the end of the night won Station of the Year - and the organiser of the event - The Radio Academy’s CEO Aradhna Tayal Leach.
Also on the podcast I catch up with two of the Goalhanger founders, Tony Pastor and Jack Davenport, and one of their talent - Alastair Campbell. We speak to Bob Shennan about why talkSPORT was a worthy winner of the Judges’ Special Award and what its boss Liam Fisher had to say. Another special award went to Andy Ashton of Greatest Hits Radio, we speak to him and one of his signings - Ken Bruce.
All of those and lots more guests too, including asking a tight-lipped David Olusoga about his Traitors appearance!
