The Sound of the Year Awards are open for entries until 30 March: soundoftheyearawards.com They have three categories: political sound, environmental sound, and social sound.

The 60 Secondes Radio competition is back! Enter one-minute-long audio creations on the theme "at least one word." Deadline is 12th April: 60secondesradio.com

My latest for @transom.bsky.social: "There’s an art to pitching, which I’m still learning. It’s a skill you develop in tandem with learning how to tell great stories in sound. The hardest part is starting. Just do it: take a chance and go pitch!" transom.org/2026/pitchin...

My beloved neighbor, Sandra Pettway, passed away today. @audioflux.bsky.social thank you for giving me a reason to interview her for my Circuit 3 piece and preserving her voice for those of us who were fortunate to know her.

FYI: I've been updating this spreadsheet of English-language radio/podcast shows & production companies that accept pitches for segments, stories and packages. There are a few upcoming deadlines and some new additions... bit.ly/pitchlist2026

Another day, another outrage; ICE under Trump is going to deport dozens of people to Iran, including two gay men previously arrested by the regime who face the death penalty for their orientation, and despite the ongoing crackdowns which have killed thousands. An administration of total inhumanity.

ICE goon pushes man in front of a moving bus.

Big news for our community. AIR has received a $1.5M investment from the Ford Foundation to strengthen and support the future of independent audio.
