Two exciting days! I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at the #SRAs tonight and revealing this year’s Technical Achievement winner. 🏆
It's a busy couple of days - tonight, we're sponsoring the Technical Achievement Award at the Student Radio Awards (see you there!) and tomorrow we're unveiling the new @radioacademy.bsky.social 30 Under 30 over on Instagram!

Having “hiring” on your LinkedIn profile or running a job ad on there, basically means recruitment agencies try and connect with you a dozen times a day. It really makes me not want to use it, but I don’t think we can _not_ be on there.
