Siren FM’s The Reading Room recently took second place in an international award, seeing off Radio 4's The Today Programme, Melvyn Bragg's In Our Time and iTunes Live in the process.

The Reading Room broadcasts just once a month and features a mix of book reviews, interviews with authors, original short stories and poetry.

Paul Tyler has been hosting The Reading Room for almost two years with the aim of making literature more accessible and, after winning European Podcast Award's UK professional category, the show looks to go from strength to strength.
