I nailed this interview and i’m not afraid to admit it. It helped that this was a topic that I was excited about, and I knew that Lea would be receptive and informative. I had done enough research on the topic of Positive Psychology that I could identify what is was that the audience needed […]
In the lead up to our first show we had a session at the studio to record our one hour of show. I was really nervous about presenting, however it struck just how easy this was. I felt that Kenton was easy to converse with, however at times I felt that it wasn’t quite as […]
This is the most daunting part of this course so far. When looking at the panel for the first time it seems busy and confusing, like there is a lot going on. While listening to Archie break it down I begun to see it differently, as sections more so than a big mess of buttons. […]
I took some really interesting points from Elizabeth on interviewing: Interviews should go for roughly 8 minutes. Think about what we want to get out of them, the who what when where and why’s.

Always think of the topic first, then what can I cover in the time space, when who can I interview. – Be sure to speak for the audience. Always interview for the audiences benefit. This will help find an angle and the important topics to […]
Community broadcasters differ a great deal from one to the other. This is because each one is designed to reach a different audience: educational, Indigenous, religious, differently abled, youth, senior or LGBTIQ communities. The largest proportion of community radio stations opperate in regional areas, and all encourage participation from members of the communities they serve. […]
Notes: Triple R: Professional Community Radio. 3R is a national community radio station that lives in East Brunswick. The radio is fed by the community, and in turn the community ethos is reflected in all broadcasting. The greatest example of this are the sponsorship announcements that are fed through out a program. As Bruce stated, this […]
Notes: Following our first class I have been thinking about the affordances of radio. In Writing Media Texts and Editing Media Texts we spent a lot of time building soundscapes. I feel that sound is a very powerful sense – in the same way that a smell can take you back to an exact time […]
