Radio Girl Jo Miller gets radio wise & writes Hi Rod, Thanks for the the brilliant day down in Kent. 
I'm thrilled to bits with the two demo's that I came away with. Have also seen some interesting jobs on the Media Jobs email circulation that I'll apply for. Thanks Jo Miller. . Below Jo Miller working hard in studio. Listen to Jo's 'Hot FM' showreel demo here. Produced by Rod Lucas.
 
   
 
 
"Having spent the past three years away from radio, raising my children, I felt that I really needed a new demo as well as a bit of time in the studio as a 'refresher' and to boost my confidence. I felt sure that the Radio School was what I needed. I was a little apprehensive but Rod made me feel comfortable and relaxed straight away, giving me some great tips and ideas to move me from where I am onto the next level as a radio presenter.  I believe his career advise will be invaluable.  Before long, I was recording in the studio, feeling right at home.  Wow-time flew by. But Rod was precise, knowing what would work and what would not and with his knowledge and experience, I was able to leave with two excellent demo's as well as some invaluable career advice" Jo Miller.

What students say about our Radio Presenter Training and how we help get people into real radio jobs.

"I would happily recommend Rod Lucas and the Radio School. Before attending a Radio Presenting Training Course with Rod I had no radio experience. Expect a warm welcome and some intense training. I left with a demo which as a result I was offered a full time show within two months on 2 stations. Since then I now present my own show for one of the largest groups of stations in UK. I still send air checks to Rod to get some feedback.“
