Audio Production Awards 2016

I’m delighted and still quite shocked to say that I won best newcomer and best podcast producer at the Audio Production Awards last night. I owe a debt to Huw Jordan, Kirsty Styles and everyone who’s appeared or worked on the Weekly Economics Podcast. And thanks to the Radio Independents Group for running such a brilliant evening.

The judges said:

James Shield’s work is as fun and engaging as it is heavy-hitting. James’s production brought slick, flavoursome storytelling to complex and (usually rather dry) economic issues. The listener is lightly and painlessly drawn in to high-concepts and alternative slants on ‘There-is-no-alternative’ mainstream economic dogma. Highly diverting and entertaining. Millennials, look no further for a quirky, humane and compelling introduction to numbers and politics.
