Listen "Rowing Home with Jordan North"
Episode Synopsis
This week Roisin chats to the team behind Jordan North’s epic rowing challenge for Comic Relief on Radio 1.
Jenny Keogh and Louis Chadwick talk us through the planning and thinking-on-your-feet involved in getting this week-long project on air, which saw Jordan row 100 miles along canals from London to his home town of Burnley.
Blood, sweat and tears went into telling this story which raised over £800,000 for charity. But while the on-air story focuses on Jordan's physical endurance, what does it take to create an epic radio experience like this, and what did the team learn along the way?
