‘For forty years the PRIX EUROPA has been celebrating and defending the place of public service broadcasting in our democracies and, in this anniversary year, it is all the more important to come together and shout loudly about our work. I’ve been coming to Berlin for half that time and it just gets better every year."‘

Alison Hindell coordinates the Audio Fiction category together with Gunhild Nymoen.

My job title is Commissioning Editor, Drama & Fiction, BBC Radio 4.  I commission all the audio drama on the BBC, from our 75-year-old soap opera The Archers, through classics and experimental writing from new and established playwrights, to our Limelight podcast strand. I also select the prose fiction titles for our abridged readings, weekly original short stories and new prose serials from contemporary novelists.
