A Roar-ing Good Time

Completing the Live To Air was one thing.

 

Getting the file uploaded to the ROAR site was another. Having a program that only accepts mp3 files under 100mb proved to be a major inconvenience as we bounced the audio out as a .aud file.

 

The result of this was one of the group (me) having to make a return trip to 3RRR to bounce the file off the logger as a .wav file, compress it and then upload it to the site. This process not only took a long time (5 hours) but highlighted the flaws in the ROAR site.

 

It has now been successfully uploaded, but I can safely say that I have lost a decent part of my soul to the process.

C.A.S.A

After deciding on the trajectory of our feature piece, it came time to head out and interview the relevant individuals that would comprise the main expert body of our piece.

 

Heading to Bentleigh East to meet with Carolyn Worth, I prepared approx. 20 questions pertaining to sexual assault at music festivals. Having no idea what to expect, and feeling slightly out of place being a male asking these questions, I entered the building with some apprehension.

 

This apprehension was soon forgotten when I met Carolyn and began asking here the questions. This interview was more of a fluid conversation that touched on numerous key points about sexual assault and resulted in 45 minutes worth of audio.
