Pulse radio is the radio station of the LSE Students union. we broadcast live from campus, PUBLISH MIXES AND PODCASTS, WRITE FOR OUR MUSIC MAGAZINE, teach people to DJ, organisE parties around London and act as a social space for creative people at lse.
Pulse Radio began broadcast on 1st February 1999. Working in tandem with The Beaver and Loose TV, Pulse showcased the best of student journalism. We played good tunes, broke news and interviewed the likes of former Canadian President, Kim Campbell, and News Broadcaster, Jon Snow. In 2005 we were even awarded the 'Student Website of the Year' at the Guardian Student Media Awards… That was until a former President blew the budget on a nice set of CDJs and the enthusiasm for radio broadcast on campus died out. But we’re back and extremely grateful for our predecessor’s investment as we are now training a new generation of LSE DJs. This year we bring you broadcast, podcasts and best of all, nights that will make you forget that you are at LSE. Tune in and get involved x
