With the advancement of on-demand services and content streaming, live radio has taken a bit of a back seat in recent years. Podcasts in particular have experienced a massive boom in interest, as well as live streams on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitch. However, this doesn’t necessarily spell the end of radio as we know it; many people still enjoy the comforting sound of a live radio show, and those that don’t listen live can still enjoy it through catch-up services like BBC Sounds and Radioplayer.

Talking on the radio to some can come as naturally as talking on the phone comes to your mother, but more often than not it takes practise and understanding to become as casual the best DJ’s out there.
