Radio & Podcast Course

With the emergence of online radio stations and music platforms, modern day technology allows people to host their own radio show or podcast from the comfort of their home. So whether you're a DJ, a producer or even a complete beginner, this course has everything you need to produce and sell your own radio show or podcast. If you make the grade after assessment, you will be invited to host a guest spot on Wild1 Radio, which could lead to a permanent radio show.

Lisbon's course runs in small groups at our studio, taught by working producers, with live-online attendance for students elsewhere in Portugal, using our specialist music collaboration software, Muse.
