Dr Adam Smith received the award for 'Broadcaster of the Year' at the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Communication and Culture Awards 2015 for his BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio 4 contributions. The award was presented by Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø's Provost, Professor Michael Arthur, at a ceremony in May.

The judges said:

In one documentary titled , Adam investigated the history that primary school children should study and how it should be taught. The programme achieved a high level of engagement on social media and it was also discussed at a conference led by Michael Gove, the then Secretary of State for Education. Adam is an outstanding communicator who is making a major contribution to Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø's mission to have an impact beyond the scholarly community. With this in mind, it would be difficult to imagine a more successful broadcaster of historical knowledge and understanding.
