A chat with Natasha Collie

Described as “one of the best bits of radio I’ve heard in ages” which is “frankly, excellent” and “beautifully scripted with a great sense of rhythm”, Flamenco Feet has tackled the tricky subject of Asperger’s Syndrome in an award-winning fashion.

Depicting the thoughts and feelings of five autistic girls with a link being made with flamenco, a Latin American form of dance, such comments were made by the Student Radio Association as the RAW 1251AM drama received critical acclaim from industry professionals.

Winning the Best Speech Programming award at the 2010 Student Radio Awards at the O2, London, the University of Warwick based student radio station claimed top honours as their account of life with a disability stood out from entries by other members of the SRA.
