With articles about Catherine appearing in the Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, and other major newspapers across the world, Radio Addenbrooke’s was quick to take the opportunity to interview the young author.  

        Catherine, who wrote The Eyes of a King when she just 14 years old, visited the studios to discuss her book - a fantasy that centres around a teenage boy who finds a magical book that leads him into a parallel world. She also read an extract from the story to the Sunday night Addenbrooke’s audience.  

  "She was a delight to interview, and our listeners took to her immediately" commented Jim Carrington from the Sunday night broadcasting team. "Radio Addenbrooke's famously interviewed the Beatles early in their careers, and I hope that we will soon look back at our interview with Catherine with equal pride".  

  Catherine joins a long list of local and national celebrities to have been interviewed on Radio Addenbrooke's in recent years. Interviews can be heard every week on Bent Larsen's Wednesday afternoon show, and occasionally on other shows in the schedule.  

    The Eyes of a King, written by Catherine Banner and published by Random House Books, is available from most book shops and internet retailers.    

  An extract from the interview can be heard   here  .  ]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jul 2008 12:17:52 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.radioaddenbrookes.co.uk/press-releases/radio-addenbrookes-catches-a-rising-star/</link><guid>http://www.radioaddenbrookes.co.uk/press-releases/radio-addenbrookes-catches-a-rising-star/</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patientline plc in administration]]></title><description><![CDATA[  As you may have heard, Patientline plc has filed for administration.

This was the third time that inpatients have been able to get involved in the hospital's open days, which takes place once every two years.  

    The special broadcast included requests collected from patients on wards, competitions, interviews with staff and visitors and reports on the main attractions.  

  The Radio Addenbrooke’s broadcast is just one of many activities that was planned for the hospital’s Open Day. Doors opened between 10:00 and 16:00, and the whole day was free of charge.   The event was opened by Dame Edna Everage.    

  Open Day's give the public the chance to look behind the scenes and take part in activities from visiting an operating theatre to having their favourite toy checked over in the ‘Well Teddy’ clinic.

        Radio Addenbrooke&acute;s decided to update its image, following several years of growth and development, which led to the coveted Hospital Radio Station of the Year award in 2004. &quot;The station has reinvented itself over the last 10 years,&quot; explained Jim Carrington, the logo project coordinator. &quot;We wanted to reflect this by launching a new look.&quot;  

  Designed by Stefan Strichen, the new logo came from a collaborative project with the Cambridge School of Art at Anglia Ruskin University.  As part of their final coursework, graphic design students entered a competition to design a new look that reflected the fun, caring and entertaining principles of the hospital radio station.  

  &quot;This project has provided an excellent opportunity for students to engage in a live project which interacted directly with the community&quot; commented senior lecturer, Will Hill. &quot;I&acute;m delighted with the work they have produced and the way in which it has developed their understanding of the working relationship between the designer, the client, and the public.&quot;  

  After unveiling the new logo and presenting a certificate to the winning designer, celebrity guest Kenny Ball said &quot;Radio Addenbrooke&acute;s is a brilliant service.  It brings such relief and entertainment to patients&acute; stays in hospital.  No visit to hospital is pleasant, but this personal service - where volunteers go and talk to patients and then play their songs and build shows around their needs - is a brilliant way to ease the stress of a hospital stay.  Tonight has been a great opportunity to celebrate the success of the station and to commend the brilliant design of this new logo.&quot;  He added: &quot;Addenbrooke&acute;s Hospital is a fantastic organisation and we are so lucky to have it.&quot;   

  Winning designer Stefan Strichen was delighted by his win: &quot;I am really pleased. It has been a great experience working with Radio Addenbrooke&acute;s and it has given me an insight into how to tailor my creative skills to clients&acute; needs.&quot;  

  Chair of Radio Addenbrooke&acute;s, Richard Saunders expressed his gratitude to the students and supporters: &quot;It has been really great to work with these students and Anglia Ruskin and I&acute;d like to thank all those who were involved in this.  I&acute;m also grateful to all the supporters of Radio Addenbrooke&acute;s who have helped us by providing sponsorship or equipment over the years.  Without their help, we wouldn&acute;t be able to provide this brilliant service.  But, of course, my biggest thanks goes to the volunteers who tirelessly dedicate their time and effort every week to creating great shows and bringing light relief to patients&acute; lives.&quot;
