Former Pupil Emily Starts To Create Air Waves

Inbetween working at global law firm DLA Piper where she is employed in Mobility, managing UK client secondments, former pupil Emily Brett has been volunteering at Radio Plus in Coventry.

Emily has been co-presenting the Thursday Drivetime show from 5pm- 7pm since July 2013, so we asked her about this, her new Sunday show and her plans for the future:

'As we are very much a community radio station, for the Drivetime show, we invite a lot of guests in to talk about things that matter to our listeners in Coventry. We cover charity work and local events as well as general topical chat, weather, traffic news and music. During my own show, which is aired on Sundays from 4- 6pm, I talk about celebrity gossip and showbiz news from the past week, and play Connect 4 where listeners can guess the link between four songs I play. I also discuss what's coming up in the next week- e.g. film releases, gig ticket releases and events.

I've only been doing my own show for a month, but I'm getting more interaction from listeners every week and former pupil Abi Rewhorn is one of my most loyal fans, so it would be good to hear from even more current and former pupils!

My dream is to work full-time for a radio station- with a focus on presenting.'

To help Emily achieve her dream, promoting her show and increasing listeners would be a super start! We wish her well and look forward to tuning into Radio Plus for her show and those of other presenters!

To listen to Radio Plus, please go via its website or 101.5FM. The station is also on TuneIn, which is available as a phone app.
