Research from @worlddab.bsky.social: radio is the most important feature people look for in terms of in-car systems. More important than eg SatNav when people are buying cars. #IBC2026

The UN recently updated how the world map is usually displayed. @worlddab.bsky.social seems to have gone one stage further… #IBC2026

Any European radio station who forgot to schedule Total Eclipse of the Heart this evening = fail. ☀️ 🌒

Reminder: You are an adult. Absolutely no one can stop you from having three ice creams before tea if you want.

Dear technology billionaires: it’s a Bank Holiday in the UK. I want to spend it with my friend. Don’t do anything weird(er than normal). cc @zsk.bsky.social

At the #Arias2026. The sound is a unique combination of being too low to hear at the back, whilst also over-modding. 3,245 hours of ceremony await…

As someone who is very fond of singing in Bulgarian - hooray! #Eurovision 🇧🇬

Lordi x Save All Your Kisses for Me is #Eurovision perfection 😘

Me: It is very important to get lots of rest this week. You have a marathon to run. Also me: I just need to finish creating a reel to gee up the fundraising… 1am is earlier than 2am, right? #LondonMarathon Fundraising for WAGGGS: 2026tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/ann-charles

Easter PSA for radio people…

And Radioholidays Europe 2027 is… Palma! 🇪🇸 #RDE2026 #RDE2027

Unofficial post-Radiodays Europe run club: gentle 5-6k to see the sights of Riga. Shorter walking option available. Meet at 17:45 Radison Blu Latvija Conference & Spa hotel. (Tues 24th March). #rde26 #rde2026

Back in the @radiodayseurope.bsky.social conference rooms after a morning of breaking playout systems. We're hearing how @npr.org is being targeted by the US government through funding cuts. It's affecting freedom of speech and democracy. #rde26 #rde2026

Also pro tip for a ‘silent’* disco: don’t have one of the tracks blaring on full blast over the main speakers… *90dB. #rde26 #rde2026

We’re watching the lady who is representing Latvia at @eurovision.tv this year. She is fab. There is a jolly video of a woman being kidnapped and buried alive behind her. I don’t understand pop music. #rde26 #rde2026

Abosulte hysterics from part of the audience that the BBC can be "quick" to move towards the latest shiny thing... (More serious point is that it's important not to throw out things that are older but brilliant just because they aren't new. Absolutely spot on!) #rde26 #rde2026

I think listening to any episode of @onambridge.bsky.social would belie the idea that the user experience of BBC Sounds is universally loved by the Radio 4 audience... #rde26 #rde2026

I'm still rather unclear on what the BBC's speech audio strategy is after this session (apart from carry on making amazing content and putting it on BBC Sounds and R4?) We were treated to a lovely screenshot of a behind-the-scenes spreadsheet, which is always a treat. #rde26 #rde2026

It turns out that I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue smut jokes do not translate to a European audience (apart from to the Irish delegation), judging from the reaction in the room. #rde26 #rde2026

Mohit Bakaya from BBC Radio 4 talks about the importance of public spaces and conversations for democracy. “If you don’t know what’s true and not true, you don’t believe anything.” #RDE2026 #RDE26

Radiodays Europe now moves onto a session called What Radio Can Learn From Donald Trump. I presume it's going to be make sure you have baseball caps as part of your prize cupboard and how to declare war in a tight 30s without crashing the news in ident? #rde26 #rde2026

Next up: Danish Radio shows how they work together across platforms to generatre fewer stories that have more impact. Coverage can continue for weeks as items are initially planned using e.g. a tv doc as a catalyst but with each other platform knowing how they will do their own version of the story.

As is traditional for radio conferences, the opening keynote explains why we are all going to die and our industry will be no more. AI = people making their own content and not listening to ours, apparently. #RDE26 #RDE2026

Baiba Zuzena from Latvian Public Service Broadcaster - people will spend 60 minutes+ with a story if it matters to them. Maybe the problem is not attention span, but relevance. #rde26

Day two (or possibly Day one, depending on how you count) of @radiodayseurope.bsky.social begins! #rde26

I don’t know how I ended up with biscuit crumbs in the *inside* of my phone case, but …standard. 🍪

Marianne Bouchart is absolutely worth the #RDE26 ticket price alone. If you are working out AI strategies and tricks for your newsroom, HIRE THIS WOMAN! (Company is HEI-DA).
