Podstars: Your Voice, Your Podcast, Your Spotlight!
ENTER THE COMPETITION

The Podstars competition is an exciting cross-College project which is designed to connect young people with the media industry.

The competition offers S5, S6 and NC students across Glasgow and the West the chance to create their own podcasts. Additionally, competition finalists will visit the College's Creative Hub podcast studio to create short soundbites for the radio. 

Go Radio are also offering some of our Creative and Digital Media students work placements where they will get to produce 30-second radio trailers as part of their work experience in audio production. 

Principal and Chief Executive of South Lanarkshire College, Stella McManus said: “We are thrilled to be working with Go Radio. The Podstars competition offers the perfect platform for cross-College partnership with our Creative and Digital Media students benefitting from relevant industry experience and competition finalists being invited into the College to use our facilities.
