It didn’t take us long to overcome our initial shyness and we were soon interviewing each other and laughing at how strange our voices sounded. Rebecca, Connor and Charlotte from Felling all proved to be budding presenters when they interviewed each other about their book likes (and dislikes!). Have a listen ...

What a great day we had at this year's NCBF gala day in Sunderland. Interviews galore - Geraldine McCaughrean, Robert Crowther and the mayor of Sunderland, plus anyone willing to talk to us. People were really friendly and didn't seem to mind having a microphone pointed at them. If you haven't been to the NCBF gala day in any of its last 24 years we really recommend you go to next year's, and there might be someone there to interview you! Podcasts available soon - where you can find out what Geraldine McCaughrean's favourite fact about J M Barrie is, and what the hardest thing is about being a mayor.

A big thanks to Jo, Steph, Miranda and Lynn on the day for all your technical support - it was great fun working with you.

We'll be preparing questions to ask the authors (and hopefully the mayor of Sunderland), a footballer and the NCBF organiser! We might even have the mikes turned onto us by the visiting press. Anything could happen, but we're really excited about the visit and can't wait to go.

We are an exciting, innovative project formed initially in partnership between Arts Council England, The Reading Agency and BBC7s Big Toe Radio Show (now Big Toe Books).

The project is in its second year: the clubs are managed by Newcastle, North Tyneside, Sunderland and Gateshead library services, and a technical partnership with our wonderful web and training supporters: ictgateshead.

The aim of the clubs is simple: to create great radio, with books and reading central to its output. This means author interviews, book reviews, roving reporters, and along the way we learn about presentation, recording and editing skills – a range of the skills young people require to create radio. Hopefully we will embed an interest in radio that mean our members will be involved in radio beyond their membership of the club, whether in school radio, community radio, webradio or media studies involvement. At the same time we hope to develop generic skills for our club members such as presentation and speaking, listening, reading, writing and teamwork.
