Learning the basics of radio show production
All FM 96.9 Community Radio
Firstly, we were walked through how the studio’s equipment worked and was given the task of writing a script; we then did a practice run writing a brief intro, in-between two songs. This provided inspiration for future segments of our upcoming show with ALL FM.
In the afternoon, we explored interviewing, going into pairs and finally writing a script to interview each other. We then recorded the interview and listened back to them all as a group, while Callum gave his observations. Despite some nerves, we performed better than we thought!
Thinking about our radio show structure
Finally, we explored what we wanted from our show and which segments we’d like to include. Homework time – eek! Not as bad as it sounds, we had to choose and prepare one section of the show, with the aim of recording it next week.
It was a fantastic opportunity for everyone, building confidence and banishing any nerves we might have had. Can’t wait for next week!

Since our last blog post we have been busy! Fundraising through Tesco bag packs….Thank you to Tesco’s, Rawtenstall and Aigburth. Maria, a member of our committee held a vintage afternoon tea which we believe from the pics was an amazing afternoon and as an afternoon tea lover I was devastated to miss! We had a Christmas and Chanukah fayre, at the Phoenix Centre in Prestwich…..thanks to everyone involved!
In September we held our biennial ball, an absolutely amazing evening at The Last Drop Village in Bolton. A great night was had by all, fantastic food, entertainment and company!
Thanks to all of our performers, photographer and to Terry for MC’ing the night. A huge thanks goes to That’s Manchester who came along and interviewed many of our guests, performers and committee members.
