Alice Young: The future of radio is hearing different voices

For episode three we’re joined by radio news presenter Alice Young. Winning awards for her work on the air, Alice can be heard across Global, presenting breakfast news on Heart radio and sometimes presenting broadcasts on LBC News.

With our hosts Freya Shaw and Marine Saint, we hear how Alice found her voice on the air, the routes from local to national radio and how sports reporting is increasingly inclusive for women.
