who decided to call it Secret Santa when Nondisclosure Claus was right there

After 14,000 hours spent making a sourdough loaf dense enough to cause several deaths in a @richardosman1.bsky.social novel, I’m starting to think the artisanal bakeries that sell them for £5.60 are massively undercharging.

We’re off to Glastonbury - as you’ve never heard it before. Simone Lombardi is explaining how the BBC is using new AI techniques to separate stems live. This is much harder than it sounds! #radtechcon

From horses to dogs, as Dan McQuillin talks about future software standards in a way you might not expect…

We learning about what happened to the horse in Nybro. But there are so many horses in Nybro that it’s not such an easy question as it seems 🐴 #radtechcon.

BFBS is sharing what they launched from launching an esports tournament. This is a booming industry and there is a real need for the technical skills that radio tech people already have. Potential career move for you…? #radtechcon

Arqiva is up talking about DAB. "I realise that some people in this room invented it!" say Richard Knight. He's using an analogy of a fruit smoothie to explain how multiplexing works. #radtechcon

Mini masterclass time now - a chance to revise an industry topic from scratch. Marianne Bouchart has travelled from France today to talk about AI for audio. The slides were being updated ‘til the last second as the information changes so quickly. #radtechcon

A session that combines planes AND radio? Yes, yes, we know our audience! ;) #radtechcon

And now from broadcasting in another continent to broadcasting to your local area. John from Castledown FM is explaining how they had a forced move from on prem into the Cloud and the pros and cons for community stations like theirs. #radtechcon

Having been involved in solar powered transmission projects in South Sudan, am very pleased to be hearing about solar powered in Ghana - the tech is getting better and better each year. #radtechcon

The @ebu.ch is letting us play with their EuroVOX system at #radtechcon. Not only is it handy if you find it harder to hear, it also translates to other languages. Our speaker, Monica, is using it to help her understand audience questions asked in English as it’s not her first language. Super cool!

Bringing In The Dark Radio to a whole new level in our session on Black Sky Events. #radtechcon

We are onto niche chair chat already - very important to get this right if your presenters are sitting down all day! #radtechcon

Radio TechCon 2025 is go! Thank you to all the volunteers I vomited my brain at in a whirlwind this morning. I accidentally had coffee with caffeine 😂 #radtechcon

Happy Radio TechCon day! We’re looking forward to welcoming you to our sold out event later today (doors open from 0900, show starts at 1000). No ticket? Follow along on socials using #radtechcon and we’re live-skeeting on here :) Thank you to everyone making today happen!

Happy Radio TechCon day to all who celebrate! If I rush past you today, please don’t take it personally! :) #radtechcon

Ah yes, 4pm. Probably time for some breakfast/lunch, right?

Thank you to everyone who makes this happen. Snag your ticket while you can!

Made it home in one piece from the messiest night of the year. Now mainlining water and crisps. Congratulations to everyone at team #SRA for staging the awards tonight!

A must-watch for BBC Radio 4 fans! #radtechcon #radio

Amazing bit of slow tv from Sweden: moving a church 3 miles! www.svtplay.se/video/KnDgQ9...

The one with the stunts!

One of the most popular #radtechcon 2024 sessions: Hend is definitely a researcher to watch!

This seems to be breaking all records for #radtechcon videos!

A distressing number of people don’t know how to use Scheduling Assistant in Outlook. It’s clunky but for internal meetings, still better than guessing.

Great to see that AudioUK has been able to continue to offer bursaries for people wanting to enter the Audio Production Awards (APAs) or attend the event, but finding the finances a barrier. Award entries are currently open, so get those entries in! audiouk.org.uk #radio #audio #podcasting #awards

I swear trying to ‘save time’ by putting posts into a social media scheduling programme is actually taking longer than doing it live! 😅 (This post is real; it’s the @radiotechcon.com admin I’m trying to wrestle today…)

Glyn is a brilliant speaker!

This is such a practical session - have you tried doing studio layouts in VR instead of with giant pieces of cardboard? #radtechcon

Practical ideas for both hardware AND software companies, here! #radtechcon

When worlds collide - Channel 5 News turned up at a family support group I help at! fb.watch/A1GHjXqz_4/

Radio TechCon 2025 is back - pop Tuesday 25th Nov in your diaries for the annual gathering of audio geeks + friends :) #radtechcon

That was tense. Well done, Austria! 🇦🇹 #Eurovision

0 points in the public vote is really sad. I thought we had a decent entry this year. 🇬🇧 #Eurovision

Do we not bother to do this all in French as well as English anymore? #Eurovision?

The Swiss public broadcaster bosses are no doubt praying they don’t win two years in a row… these things are expensive. #Eurovision

As a Brit, please my I extend my every sympathy to #Iceland right now. #Eurovision #NilPoints

We’re on the left side of the board! (for a bit) 🇬🇧 #Eurovision

Who needs Celine when you’ve got a bloke rapping in fluorescent green pillows #Eurovision
