Awards
Some good news for us this week as we learn that Radio Scotland has two nominations in this year's . It's that time of year as we trawl through he last year's output and decide whether to enter the . Those are probably the most prestigious and I've been at the awards ceremony in London four times in the last five years. It's all black tie and posh frocks and a chance to rub shoulders with the stars and tell them exactly what you think of their programmes.
The great thing about these industry awards is how we all rationalise the result. If we win then we treat it as a vindication of our creative decisions and give a speech about 'taking risks' as if making radio programmes was some kind of dangerous occupation. Of course, if someone else wins we applaud politely then mutter into our drinks about how we've been stitched up by the judges.
Pathetic, really. But good fun.
