Young people are at the heart of decision making at Radio Platfform and lead the day-to-day running of our station.

They do it all – managing our social media channels, planning the schedules and running our workshops and much more.

Meet our current team…

Zuzana Kalinova – Porth Studio Coordinator

Zu has been involved in Radio Platfform since 2020 when she took part in one of our online training courses. Since then she has become a core part of the team and is now the Porth Studio Coordinator. Working with young people has become Zu’s passion and she loves being able to work alongside the teams from Sparc and Valleys Kids at The Factory in Porth. 

Zu came to live in Wales in 2018 to study for a degree in Music Business and fell in love with the country. She recently completed a master’s degree in PR and is now ready to fully immerse herself in work with young people and radio. In her spare time, Zu loves to dance Swing, play the guitar and read. She also loves to introduce people to her love of Czech Music through her podcasts, featured on Radio Platfform. Give Zu’s Czech Customs podcast a listen on Radio Platfform’s Mixcloud. 

She wishes to create an environment where young people can come and learn and do what they are passionate about in Radio Platfform.

Dylan Clarke – Outreach and Training Officer

Dylan is our Outreach and Training Officer here at Radio Platfform. He is experienced in working at and contributing to youth radio stations – whilst at Burn FM, he hosted weekly live shows for three years, produced multiple podcasts, and worked as Head of Podcasting and then Station Manager. He has experience working with BBC Radio Wales as part of a university placement, and is even writing a dissertation about BBC Sounds and the growth of podcasting in the UK.

Dylan is super passionate about all things radio, and is over the moon to have the opportunity to lead training sessions for prospective new members of Radio Platfform. He got involved with the station himself after attending training sessions at the start of 2023 whilst looking for community radio stations to get involved with in Cardiff. Since then, he has been fully involved in Radio Platfform, hosting his own alternative music show ‘Finding Emo’. Dylan loved the welcoming and inspiring atmosphere of Radio Platfform so much that he applied for the role of Outreach and Training Officer.

Now working in that role, he is keen to help others learn how radio and podcasting can be a great new creative outlet to express yourself. Training sessions with Dylan will be informative, but also fun and friendly – so please do come along!

Rhys Jones – Marketing and Events Officer

Rhys is the Marketing and Events Officer at Radio Platfform. Rhys completed his training course alongside two other staff members Dylan and Katie in January 2023, and since then has gone on to record his first radio show and podcasts.  

Outside of radio, Rhys is involved with environmental charities and his goal for this year is to make Radio Platfform Wales’ greenest radio station and create podcasts that help connect people with the natural world. He’s also a big football and Welsh music fan and a Welsh speaker. 

Rhys has adopted the sofa in Radio Platfform as his desk, so he’s often around if you ever decide to pop into the station for a recording or even a friendly chat in English or Welsh. Diolch!
