A graduate of the Bro Radio Academy is joining the station’s weekend line-up, with Evie set to host Vale Breakfast every Saturday and Sunday morning from 7am to 9am.
Evie first joined Bro Radio through its Youth Academy, a free 12-week training course that introduces young people to radio, journalism and social media.
Speaking about her new role, Evie said she was thrilled to take on her own show. “I’m very grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given at Bro Radio and the Academy. The team is phenomenal, and I’ve loved becoming part of it. I’m excited to be able to speak to the Vale of Glamorgan every weekend from 11th October.”
Jamie Pritchard, who leads the Bro Radio Academy, praised Evie’s hard work and development. “I’m really proud of Evie.
“She’s worked so hard to get where she is today and this opportunity to take on a regular show will help further develop the skills she learnt being part of the Bro Radio Academy.”
The Bro Radio Academy is supported by Vale Youth Service, Barry YMCA, Glamorgan Voluntary Services and Llantwit Major Town Council.
It offers young people aged 11 to 18 the chance to gain hands-on experience in broadcasting and achieve an AGORED Cymru qualification in preparing to present a radio broadcast.
