So what's it like to step up to a live microphone for your first show on your local radio station? Adam Kenny recently took that step at Bolton FM.

My time at Bolton FM has been incredibly rewarding. From day one, I was warmly welcomed by John, the Programme Manager, and made to feel part of the team. The training has been outstanding, covering everything from operating the studio desk and setting microphone levels to presenting with warmth, clarity, and authenticity.

I’ve received in-depth guidance on using the station's software, equipping me with the skills to independently present and manage my own show. I was also trusted to cover an Indie show during a presenter’s absence, and the Bolton FM team provided fantastic support throughout, ensuring I felt confident and prepared.

This brilliant introduction to Bolton FM has not only made me feel at home but has also created an environment where I can express myself freely and focus on growing, both as a presenter and as a professional.

Bolton FM adds, "We're blushing, Adam! Thanks. If you'd like to join him on the air, we're always looking for volunteers, particularly those who are available to cover our mainstream shows in weekday daytimes. Just click on volunteer and fill out a new volunteer form."
