Many congratulations to Insanity Radio, who have been awarded a gold Student Radio Award in the category of Best Technical Achievement, alongside two silver awards. 

Jam Woods, Head of Computing, who accepted the award on behalf of the station's technical team, said: "It's a wonderful feeling to have your team's hard work recognised at the national level. This is also a particularly important milestone, as a woman-led team haven't won in this category before. The radio industry, even student, have a problem finding women for technical roles. This is something that, despite our achievement, still absolutely needs to be addressed.

"Nerve, our now award-winning music library, was built to make life easier for our presenters, production teams, and management staff. It's great to see that the industry professionals agree, and hopefully they can learn something from us, too."

The two silver certificates were awarded to Sophie Shapter for her documentary series Shadow, and Philipp Carl Kostelecky, in the category of Kevin Greening Award for Creativity. Shadow is available for listening on MixCloud, and you can find Philipp on Sundays at 5PM on 103.2FM.

Insanity are always looking for new volunteers, student or not, to join their many teams.
