I'm at #rde19 for the next couple of days. Coming up at 10am, in Track 4, I'm talking with All In Media about how we deliver our multi-platform content for Fun Kids Radio across the web, apps and smart speakers.

The UK boss of Bauer Media Group UK calls on the radio industry to collaborate as he says there's "never been a better time in commercial radio" on.radio.today/2I2focR #RDE19

#RDE19: Bob Shennan says "I don’t think, necessarily, radio is going as steeply in the direction of television, because of the essential nature of radio and how people consume it”

#RDE19: @CillaBenko says “Who on Earth could think a government cutting a public service broadcaster’s budget by 20% is a good thing?”

#RDE19 We will remember this point in time as an incredibly pioneering one for radio. Dani Bűchi, NRJ Switzerland

”The art of telling a story hasn’t changed in thousands of years.. The future of radio is great because we are going to build it together” - @brendapsalinas (News on the assistant, Google, UK) #RDE19

Nice to see Nichola Ntim and Greg James with Aled Haydn Jones talking BBC Radio 1 breakfast at #RDE19

#RDE19: Alex Lowe says “Everyone is creative. Creativity is problem solving. It is adding ingredients together to answer a question”

#RDE19: nickybirch, on smart speaker productions, says “It feels like the role of 'conversation designer' is emerging, and that’s a mixture of an audio producer and a UX designer.”

#RDE19: Flora Carmichael says “Take care before you share. We have a responsibility as broadcasters. Even if you are not in a news stations, make sure to have fact-checking processes in place”

#RDE19: Jessikka Aro 🦄 says "We really need to reconnect with the smaller communities, with the groups that believe in things like conspiracy theories, etc. It is elitist to think we don’t have to interact with these people"

Whenever I hear an ad for Spotify on the radio I wonder - is it a sign of our strength that we’re able to run it? Or our weakness?

Today’s The Times and The Sunday Times reports that BBC planning new spin-off services. (As forecast in my blogs....)

It is election season. The world is busy and rubbish. But it is also Christmas. So take a breather and let me tell you a story about London, trains, love and loss, and how small acts of kindness matter. I'm going to tell you about the voice at Embankment Tube station.
