International women's day 2023
Audio Highlighting
For International Women's Day, 2023, we will be doing something a little different to our usual programming. Below, we are audio highlighting s women and non-binary people from the North East. We also recorded a one-off podcast audio panel, with three guests and a host who work in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). You can also find this below.
.
On Saturday the 11th of March, we also have a Bend&Shake evening event, celebrating electronic music with four DJs.
