I am really impressed with Kai’s media skills and professionalism . She has a very mature understanding and approach to digital, audio and video production. She is able to effectively solve technical problems with ease. As well as taking a lead role in the school radio station – she is also part of the team working on the development of a brand new school website. All this alongside winning a national radio award too! Go Kai!

We wanted to upgrade our software this year and Kai negotiated, trained and provided ongoing support with our software. Sadly due to CoVid we couldn’t have the huge teams of volunteers we would normally have which put more pressure on the core team. Kai worked tirelessly at home to ensure everything was set up and working before she came and installed everything at the studio. We have an international setup with live studios in 4 different countries meaning technical support was essential which Kai gladly assisted with. During the month, Kai normalised sound, created podcasts and managed our social media to provide just a few things. Thanks for all your support!

Kai is the live Studio Producer on my breakfast show which is the station’s flagship show. Kai has really helped me develop my knowledge and skills and has always encouraged me. Kai is an excellent Station Manager and works hard to achieve the desired results without any fuss, receiving direction well. She is able to work as part of a team, as well as independently, and has an excellent rapport with students and co-workers. I am so honored to be working with you Kai and thank you for all your continued support.

Station Editor | Youths Choice

Kai is the person every radio station needs. She is the station manager of Youths Choice, the radio station I present on. She brings with her bundles of technical radio knowledge at a level which is surprisingly hard to find in this industry especially for her age. Kai knows a radio studio inside and out and would be a massive credit to any station.

Kai’s depth on knowledge for a working radio studio is extensive. We have worked together on a station where Kai was station manager – being super organised. Highly recommend.

The volunteer behind this photo (See Photo), and most of the photos on Radio Christmas is Kai Randles. Kai is a very humble young volunteer and we have seen Kai grow in confidence and ability over the years. Without Kai the station would be able to operate to the level it does now and you can always rely on Kai to be responsible for the station’s output, reputation and, at the same time, start to develop new ideas, apps and ways of working to improve the station. THANK YOU KAI for being just amazing and for not needing to shout about it.

Agreed, Kai has put so much time & effort into Radio Christmas. Without doubt the coolest & most inspirational person I met whilst working for Global 💜 “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” neatly sums up Kai’s positive attitude in a nutshell.
