I was lucky enough to interview Stass and Alana from the female-focused skate crew Thrusher, who skate around Melbourne encouraging women to jump on board of a skateboard lol. This was my first experience in a radio studio and it’s certainly reflected through the quality of my interview. Something was banging about the studio table, hitting the mic stands, squeaking the chairs, tapping the table and I’m starting to think it was me. It makes an otherwise interesting interview sound super amateur. I got a bit of a spray by a staff member about it. This made listening back definitely the hardest part of the whole process.
Other than the final product, I’m proud of the lead-up to the interview. I managed to keep a consistent dialogue with Thrusher, giving information about the show, setting up times to meet and even organising a time to skate with them. They were enthusiastic and excited guests, and I wish the sound quality of the show had of done them some more justice.
