Community Radio Awards judges feedback
“This is a hard hitting interview which must have been difficult for Matt who himself had experienced some of the kinds of behaviour that Alex went through. Domestic violence against a male victim is something which is not usually considered in our society and the audio presentation brings out the horrific nature of the abuse which was suffered. A great piece of investigative journalism.”
Judge; Speech and Journalism of the Year (Silver: Talking Men), Community Radio Awards 2019.
“This is an incredibly moving interview about an under-reported and important issue. The presenter’s sensitivity and tactful approach allowed the interviewee to open up about what was obviously a very traumatic experience – this is testament to the talent and insight of the presenter. Bringing these kinds of issues to the attention of the community, in a way which is both informative and engaging is exactly what Community Radio, at its best is all about.”
Judge; Speech and Journalism of the Year (Silver: Talking Men), Community Radio Awards 2019.
“What an incredibly brave interview. Both men able to conduct this powerful conversation. I thought Matt’s handling of the interview was just superb. A professional mix of empathy and space for the contributor to tell his story whilst gently guiding him along the way. A great bit of radio.”

“An utterly shocking interview on a subject not given much mainstream attention. The interview was professionally conducted by the presenter and structured well to let the interviewee tell their story in their own time and in their own words. Clearly this feature has engaged with listeners and amplified the conversation on male experienced domestic abuse.”
Judge; Speech and Journalism of the Year (Silver: Talking Men), Community Radio Awards 2019.
“A harrowing listen and an interview that is sensitively handled by the presenter. An important topic that has been very well explored for the audience.”
Judge; Speech and Journalism of the Year (Silver: Talking Men), Community Radio Awards 2019.
“A really important piece of radio and you should be very proud this was brought to air.”

“This was a high quality entry talking about a subject rarely discussed in depth elsewhere. This was almost of national BBC quality, but it was done in a lively and local manner.”
Judge; Podcast of the Year (Bronze: Talking Men), Community Radio Awards 2017.
“A well-researched podcast with good quality presentation. I like the mix of longer-form interviews with the punchy "Men's Bits" news headlines. A good mix of guests and topics covered. You're on a roll with this project and I hope it continues.”
