WE WON!!!! 📻🎧🎤🎶🎚🎙🎼

Just to be a finalist for the "Best Access radio show" category was a huge privilege in itself, but winning is so surreal!!!

And to be in the same room as NZ's top radio and podcast hosts, wow wow wow.

Thank you so much to Wellington Branch of National Council of Women New Zealand for funding our show, Wellington Access Radio 106.1FM for your endless guidance and for giving us the ability to record and air the show, Plains Media for also airing our show in Canterbury, all our current co-hosts: Harita Gandhi-Kashyap , Aisling Ní Bhaldraithe , Laura Trobiani , Eleonora Bello , Haley Rachel Rolls and Sophie Kelsall, and past co-hosts Prudence Stone, Viola Balzaretti, Jenna Clark-Hannah, Aimee Tang, Lily Howard-Jones, Tracy Mudge and Ayesha Syed Asif who went to the awards night with Harita at Skycity last night.

We all put this show together in a volunteer capacity, outside of our "real, full time jobs" so being recognized for our work in this space makes the last 4 years since we started this show so worth it.

Now we can officially call ourselves an award winning radio show 😁
