Proposed Agenda:
- Introductions
- from 6 – 7 p, Sounds Fine: An Introduction to Radio Technique with Rhod Sharp
- “Rhod Sharp is the presenter of BBC Radio Five Live’s long running ‘Up All Night’ daily current events show. His working life in radio has included spells as editor, correspondent – and reporter. This short look at radio interviewing is for anyone who has ever heard or made a podcast and wished it could sound better. A couple of simple techniques can permanently improve your sound forever.
If you have your own recording equipment, bring it along. After a brief discussion of equipment (very important) we will break into small groups and work together on microphone handling.”
