Family Audio (with Story Pirates’ Lee Overtree and Fun Kids’ Bex Lindsay)

Kids deserve good radio and audio too. And, thanks to digital radio and podcasts, there are plenty of options for them now. Audio for children and families is the theme of this episode, and our guests are largely inspired by Terry's 6 year old daughter's listening habits... We're talking with Creative Director of the Story Pirates podcast, Lee Overtree & Fun Kids radio presenter Bex Lindsay. We discuss the key aspects about making audio aimed at young audiences the ingredients of good storytelling, and the amount of preparation and planning involved. Terry is joined in the studio by Radio & Audio student Megan Murphy.
