"Use this for every show, helps me with pre show planning and in show features. Any problems are dealt with extremely quickly and efficiently which is a great bonus. Couldn't do my show without them"

"A recent upgrade from the 'on this day' service, Prep Pad is a useful addition to my syndicated morning show - great value too at less than 50p daily!"

"Since day one...a game changer Radio Essentials has quickly become a go-to part of my show prep. It makes pulling together strong, engaging content fast and effortless, which is invaluable in a busy radio environment. The ideas and resources add real colour to a broadcast, helping you go beyond the basics and create something that genuinely connects with listeners. It also frees you up to be fully present in the studio, focusing on delivery rather than scrambling for material. Most importantly, it’s constantly evolving to keep pace with the fast-moving nature of radio, which makes it feel like a genuinely modern tool for today’s presenters. Also the mobile prep pad is incredible!"

"Been using the Prep Pad since it was launched and are well impressed with the content. Works great for my radio shows. Would highly recommend to any radio presenter/station."

"Great content, growing all the time, most can be found elsewhere, but so much easier to use when in one place! However, I had a problem accessing at 6pm on a Monday, ss I went On Air. So, I fired off a message and Steve got back to me in 5 minutes, he returned to the office and spent 40 minutes sorting it out. Fantastic customer service and crazy value for money. Strongly recommend. Colin at an East Midlands Radio Station."
