We've had a few people come and see us in our office (next to the Gen Sec's in the Union) and a few email's about the music.Most has been positive and there have been some suggestions about playlist tracks. So if you want your say just email insanity@rhbnc.ac.uk or come and see us. There's also going to be a playlist meeting on Friday 5th at 10am in the Meeting Room. So if you want to hear some of the new material we've been receiving come along and have a listen.

Student Broadcast Network. Part of our programming (The Chart, In Session, Pure, Craig and Keni) comes via satellite from the SBN, they provide programming which we're just not able to do at Insanity so we hope you're enjoying their shows. We have regular meetings, in fact the last one was yesterday, with the SBN and can get various bits and pieces changed. So if you have an issue with anything on Insanity we can try and sort it out.
Find Us. If you want to find us we're in various places at various times, you can try the office during, er, office hours. You can find us before our Board meetings - Thursdays @ 7pm in the Meeting Room (in the SU). Or you can find us in our weekly presenter meetings - Thursdays @ 1pm in the Main Union Hall.
