Well done to the @funkidslive.com team, working hard on a Bank Holiday Monday chatting to listeners live and counting down the top 100 Disney songs!

Amazing that they made this in Deluxe Paint II.

Wow, eight years ago today, me and Matt Hill put on the first British Podcast Awards. It was a side project that exploded. I'm excited that we still get to work with lots of the people who came to that first awards, often with our marketing agency @podcastdiscovery.com.

So pleased @funkidslive.com has netted four noms at the ARIAS, including one for Station of the Year. But I'm more excited that this is the 4th year in a row we've achieved that. No other station's managed this feat. A testament to the hard work of the team who do a brilliant job day in day out.

Just playing with Google AI Studio that can apparently remove image watermarks. It does - but it also gave me a big nose. Maybe that's the way to crack down on this AI piracy!

Google has reminded me of taking this picture 10 years ago. I snapped it because I thought it was odd the Direct Marketing Association didn't have a letterbox.

Here's the full London list...

Matt Deegan @mattdeegan.com · 06/02/2025

Of the 92 stations (I think) are available in London, Fun Kids is #57! And 15+ isn't even our target audience!

A good piece from @tomwebster.media in Sounds Profitable about the challenge/opportunity of a declining US audio market and how that intersects with video. soundsprofitable.com/article/and-...

If you're wondering what Jay Blades is up to, he's DJing to 57 people on TikTok.

No winners here on Bluesky, so here are the most played songs of 2024 plus where they ranked for each station.

331

Matt Deegan @mattdeegan.com · 03/01/2025

A little radio quiz... These were the most played songs in 2024 on Capital, Heart, Hits Radio, Kiss and Radio 1, but which was it for each station? And no cheating!

A new edition of @powerfulpodcasting.bsky.social's Beyond Powerful Radio has arrived! A great resource for anyone in radio or podcasting! It's also 20% off before the new year. www.routledge.com/Beyond-Power...

There's thousands of people that tune into @themediaclub.com each week - but thanks to the 166 on Spotify for whom it's their number one show!

Honoured to receive a fellowship from the Radio Academy yesterday at their Festival. It's lovely to be recognised by your peers - and also odd to hear a living eulogy about yourself too! Great to be recognised alongside three other great radio folk: www.podpod.com/article/1837...

Great night for Fun Kids at the Radio Academy's ARIAS Awards. GOLD for Creative Innovation for Mission Transmission, and a SILVER in the Radio Times public vote too, plus another SILVER for our documentary series My Life! Well done all!
