15 May Editorial Role – Radio Producer
I originally had the role of assistant radio producer but I got given the role of radio producer which I was happy about as it is quite an important role. I started to think about what I wanted in the live shows coming up and gave out some roles for people to do. I gave Ella and Georgie the job of getting interviews so I could include them in the radio show on the Friday. I made the running order for the radio shows, I checked up on everyone in the class to see if they knew what they were doing for the show on Friday. I spoke with the presenters and prepped them for what the show was going to include. I sat down with Michael as well and we made final decisions and discussed again what should be in the shows. I held a meeting on the Friday mornings to talk to the class and give out the jobs I needed to be done for the radio shows that day. After this was done I sat with the presenters to discuss what was going in the shows and started to think about scripting. I went round the class during the day to see how everyone was getting on and making sure they are uploading to dropbox ready for the radio shows. Once everything was uploaded, I went into the radio studio to set up and get prepared to go live at 3. As the producer I then played out all the packages and the show ran very smoothly, nothing went majorly wrong. After the show i uploaded it to dropbox and then put it onto the JLDN Soundcloud. I wouldn’t of changed anything as i felt very confident in my role and thought that i did a very good job with making sure the show ran smoothly with minimal mistakes. My favourite part of being the radio producer was going live as i love the adrenaline you get as you don’t want to mess up and when it all goes well it is the best feeling.
