Getting into Radio
As we continue to talk about entertainment and all variations of this I think there is one that I have been leaving out. Recently I have been working with a with a public radio station and it has been eye opening to the entire platform.
A lot of people think that radio is just the local music channel you listen to. This channel play music and commercials and might talk every once in a while. While that is a type of radio that is not all radio is.
Public radio is news and interesting stories that you can listen to. They have everything that happening now all around the country and internationally. They also have interesting stories about prisons, ticks and convicts. Its like Facebook to your ears.
The process of public radio is also very hard, but also very cool. As an intern I do stories that air in a special segment. Though this is only one type journalism it works about the same way. You find a story, you go after the story, you get the story and you broadcast it.
Hearing your voice so often can get a little weird, but you get use to it and get to work with wonderful people. Recording your voice is easier said than done, but then that’s the easy part.
After recording your story you have to edit it. This is the hard part. Getting everything right from your voice to your interview it can be kind of complicated. Once is all together though its really cool to hear you voice in a professional recording.
Though public radio is fairly difficult I find it fun, to listen to and to be a part of.
