Radio Production Awards – live coverage

Folded Wing have been named  Indie of the year at the Radio Academy’s Radio Production Awards.

There were also four prizes for Somethin’ Else and two for The Wireless Theatre Company’s Mariele Runacre Temple.

The winners were announced at the 229 The Venue in Central London at an event hosted by 6 Music presenter and Now Show contributor Jon Holmes.
