Even though we have 6 weeks to go, we spent Monday's class working on our radio final. It sounded crazy, at first, but once we realized that we only have 4 talk radio classes (including yesterday's class), to put together our final project it all of a sudden made sense.
Our class was divided in half so that we would have two, smaller groups. Each group will produce a one hour long radio broadcast. The format is to be that of a morning talk radio show with a maximum of 12 minutes of music for the hour (this restriction is in place because it would be too easy to just do an hour full of music). Our group has nine students - each with their individual roles to play in the broadcast. Mine is that of the board operator. I will be responsible for making sure every one has a live mic when needed, prerecorded spots and commercials are heard as programmed, and more. In addition to my duties during the live performance, I will be doing some prerecorded voice overs for commercials and sweepers and I am planning to conduct an interview for one of the spots.
We need to include commercials for a couple of reasons: one, we need to work them into the program using NexGen so that they are nicely spaced throughout the hour and two, we need to actually create a minimum of three original commercials as a team using Adobe Audition.
This is going to be fun!
