He runs 4 stations. See his
fantastic success rate at
getting students real radio
jobs in the industry. It's
impressive ! No one does it
like him. Rod says "I'm
amazed at how man people who
teach radio have never won
a Broadcast Award or done
much radio at all ! I'm not
a teacher - I'm a dedicated
Broadcaster with a deep
passion for passing on this
radio thing and getting new
talent into radio
presentation at all ages ".
Having a Degree doesn't make
you a great broadcaster !
It's bigger than that.

"I
would happily recommend Rod Lucas and the Radio School. Before
attending a Radio Presenting Training Course with Rod I had no
radio experience. Expect a warm welcome and some intense
training. I left with a demo which as a result I was offered a
full time show within two months on 2 stations. Since then I now present my
own show for one of the largest groups of stations in UK. I
still send air checks to Rod to get some feedback.“ Contact Rod
