Pitching for radio
Andrew Collins hosts this masterclass where eight radio producers get a chance to pitch ideas direct to BBC commissioners. They get two minutes to sell their idea and commissioners have four minutes to give feedback. This is an opportunity to hear what goes on behind the usually closed doors of commissioning rounds. The commissioners are Lewis Carnie from Radio 2 and 6 Music, Tony Phillips from Radio 4, Radio 1 and 1Xtra's Piers Bradford and 5 live's Jonathan Wall.
