INDI 101 FM Station Manager Les Palango says, "Jamie Smith also gives Radio and Journalism students opportunities to be involved at INDI 101 FM. He takes them into the studio and shows them our equipment and how it operates. He gets them on the air to get used to speaking to a radio audience. He has them working on social media for the radio station. He has them setting up for remote broadcasts from our lounge area. He genuinely cares that they are getting the most out of being involved in a living lab radio environment. His commitment is outstanding and I’m very proud of him."
