Russell Prue (@russellprue), founder of Anderton Tiger Broadcasting (and Bett 2020 host of NetSupport Radio!) chats to Al Kingsley (@AlKingsley_Edu) and shares five reasons why schools should consider taking part in radio broadcasting with their students.

Russell mentions how this can raise self-esteem – giving students a focus and an opportunity to shine. Of course, thinking on your feet as a broadcaster needs creative thinking, and radio is a great way to practise and hone those skills.
