Have You Ever Been Afraid To Give Something Like This A Try?
Having embarked on my audio journey last winter in the form of a 10 week course with Reprezent radio, a youth-led community radio station here in London, as a result, I developed a bit of a love affair with making radio shows.

B*tch Stole My Work
