There has been an excited buzz over the launch of the very first King’s school radio station which aired for a special podcast on Friday 17th January 2020. Fittingly named The King’s Voice, the pupil-produced radio station runs on a fortnightly timetable with an eclectic variety of themed podcasts, as well as some brilliant guest shows which will be released later in the year.

The radio station has already proved extremely popular amongst students and the recent competition to submit a logo design spurred much curiosity around the school. Pupils who are members of the radio station have been trained to use the specialist equipment by The King’s Voice director and physics teacher Mr Pearson, who also ran a radio station at his previous school before joining KSW and has kindly designated a part of his classroom to accommodate all of this apparatus.

For the opening podcast, listeners were treated to an interview between Louise Gwilliam, an Old Vigornian of the King’s School, and a group of Upper Four students. In the show the students ask Louise inquisitive questions about her interesting career in broadcast journalism as a rugby producer for 5 Live Sport at the BBC.

Like all good radio stations, The King’s Voice has its very own catchy jingle, “Our voice, the pupil’s voice, the King’s Voice“, which features in all of the shows as well as some great songs. Future podcasts will discuss an assortment of topics from politics to sports, providing the perfect range of subjects ensuring there is something for every student to listen to.
