Radio show

Hi guys!

Today was my radio show, the final part to my Radio Journalism Subject. Really thanks to all who bothered to actually listen in. Everything went well other then a few hiccups here and there such as the music not playing when it should and having a minor confusion on who is to speak, but it was good! Really enjoyed myself. Besides, my teacher also said that it was done quite organised and good so pretty happy about that.

Us in the studio

My group members were terrific! Everyone did their part well, especially the panel operator Jessica. She only had a short training session of like 15 mins 2 weeks ago and she could still remember everything. If i were the one on that machine i reckon i'd have spoilt the machine or turned on the mic at the wrong times haha.

Jessica our dear panel operator

Our radio show was basically talking about youth related issues. Stuff like the new no smoking laws in licensed venues, the new Melbourne Uni model where many courses are going to be eliminated and the newP plate laws for driving that are going to be implemented over here in aus, and that was actually kylie and my pre recorded piece, so our "hard" work didn't go to waste = )The show was only for an hour and time just wheezed by when we were in there. It felt like it was only 15 mins or something haha.

I took on the role as the news announcer, didn't get to speak much but i was just happy that i am actually part of this radio production. Now i got something extra to put in my portfolio haha. The other 2 girsl, Kylie and Kirsten were the main players of the radio show and they had everything going smoothly, well almost, except for the confusion towards at the end, but that was just a small problem. However, during our time in the studio, there were these bunch of students which were the next group to go on air after us. Throughout our whole on air time, well almost the whole time, they were peering into the glass panels and not humbly peering but blatantly having their face smacked on the glass kind of looking and that was really distracting. So inconsiderate of them, my members were like kinda irritated. Felt like we were some exhibition in the zoo man. And my teacher was cool, she told us to do the exactly same thing back to them so they can feel how is it like as well haha.

Well basically an enriching experience. My members were really nice and its my first time working with "ang mos" and i definitely loved the experience. They are a fun bunch of people and unlike those mean brainless bimbos you see in typical chic flicks. Well i believe they do exist but definitely not in this radio group of mine so thank God for that.

Kirsten, Kylie, Jessica, Vanessa

My wonderful team mates of Generation Y radio. Well the name for our show may sound corny, but that was our show. Generation Y, your radio station for youths! haha. Hope you guys that listened in liked the show. Will be getting the recorded show back from my teacher after she marks it, so if i can figure out how to actually post it up here i would = )
