Aria Awards: Rob Burrow’s BBC Radio Leeds podcast Seven triumphs

Former rugby league star Rob Burrow has won a string of awards at the UK radio and audio industry’s most prestigious ceremony.

Burrow’s podcast Seven, made by BBC Radio Leeds, won gold awards for best new podcast and creative innovation, at the Radio Academy’s Audio and Radio Industry Awards (Arias).

He also won a silver in the best new presenter and impact categories, at the event, in London, on Tuesday.

Burrow, who has motor neurone disease and speaks with the aid of a device that tracks his eye movements, interviewed fellow sportspeople including Wayne Rooney, Jonny Wilkinson and Dame Kelly Holmes on the podcast.

His wife and co-host, Lindsey, told BBC Radio Leeds, on Wednesday: “It was just such an honour and [we were] so humbled to have won those awards last night.”

The honours were recognition for “conquering the challenges of motor neurone disease and spreading awareness through the popular medium of podcasting”, she said, adding: “It shows people that anything is possible.”

The second series of Seven, in which Burrow asks sporting heroes seven questions, is due to be released soon.
