First Day, Saw an early sunrise traveling down to Coniston to watch Chloe do the Morning News, Then start to pre-record our own segment "behind the music" which will be featured every weeknight at 9, where we basically feature a band each night and try to follow a set topic for the week.
The Radio station offer the services of free community radio/music and talkback to the public of the illawarra and south coast areas. The station is only a community one so it doesnt exactly have a hundred employees getting paid to do things, it really only has two head producers who get paid, and a list of volunteers who help it run smoothly. Its quite a nice little place/house set up in a unique radio style and is not what I first thought but is a really good place for a community station.
This is a great place to start my career in, and I hope I will gain alot of experience and skills to take away with. So we just started off with Shannon getting a background check on what this segment is and what we are allowed to say and not say in terms of legally and ethically (which is hard to do anything to bad seeming its all pre recorded and off a script).
So we got a basic tutorial in using the editing programs and our recording equipment, and recored our first two weeks of material, we try to stay a week ahead of ourselves in case of emergencies etc.
It was good fun, mucking around and just doing something that has appealed to me for a while and hopefully make a future out of it.
Stay tuned for next weeks "On the Job" post....!
