Morley Radio returns as the official voiceover partner for the Audio Production Awards for the third consecutive year. This autumn season features expanded programming, industry collaborations, recording projects, and academic publishing activity. The station follows a successful year that included recording projects with acclaimed musicians, growing industry partnerships, and contributions to a major publication on podcasting and education.
New shows for the autumn season include The Resonant Almanac, hosted by Imogen Cobb, exploring seasonal music; The Love Lounge, where Cee Cee Onyx delves into Lovers Rock, R&B and soul; and The Classic Current, hosted by Natalia Lech, introducing emerging artists. REcogniZE, presented by Ela and Tina, will also feature, celebrating rising talent.
Alongside its broadcasting output, Morley Radio has continued to build its profile as a recording venue. The station manager engineered recording projects for releases including Henry Lowther and the London Jazz Orchestra’s Primetime, and sessions with pianists and composers Robert Mitchell and Bill Laurance. These projects strengthen relationships between Morley College and the creative industries, establishing Morley Radio as a trusted recording partner within the UK’s jazz community.
Camilo Salazar, Morley Radio and Studios Manager, stated: “Morley has a long and respected history in jazz education, and it’s exciting to see Morley Radio becoming part of that story. These recordings bring outstanding musicians into our studios and help position the station as a trusted space for live music production and collaboration. At the same time, they create valuable opportunities for learners to experience professional recording projects first-hand.”
Morley Radio’s work has also been recognised academically through contributions to the newly published book, Podcasting Between Entertainment and Education: Balancing Media Industry Expectations within Educational Contexts. The publication, part of the EPOD (Education Through Podcasting) series co-edited by Camilo Salazar, explores the use of podcasting in teaching and learning. Camilo Salazar also discusses the ideas behind Epod.
