In this podcast, Adam Millichip discusses Tettenhall Wood School’s achievement of winning the Innovative Technology in the Field of Inclusion award. The school's podcasting initiative aims to teach communication, social skills, and computing while promoting acceptance and awareness among autistic students.

Since its launch in May 2021, the podcast has produced over 100 episodes featuring notable guests, including sports figures and celebrities, and has garnered significant attention, even appearing on BBC News. Adam emphasises the growth of the podcast beyond initial expectations, highlighting its impact on both the students involved and the wider community.

He notes that the podcast has become a rite of passage for older students, with younger students eager to participate as they progress through the school. The podcast serves as a platform for skill development, teaching students essential techniques for effective communication. Overall, the initiative has fostered confidence and engagement among the students while raising awareness in the community.
