During this training session, participants will have the opportunity to learn about the different ways academics can work with radio and TV, questions to consider when writing a pitch, what commissioners are looking for and much more!Successful applicants of the Pitching Competition will be given the opportunity to discuss and develop their programme-making ideas with Lucy Vernall before being introduced to a radio or TV producer for a 1:1 development meeting.
