The show was finished, the stress was over!
What an enjoyable, challenging job it was.
I’m a person who thrives and enjoys the pressure situation, I really liked the role of producer, coming from a background who enjoys the technical side and using all the equipment. The show was something I had control over and the responsibility to get it right live on air broadcasted to the public is something I think is a great experience to have under my belt. The feedback I got for the show after it was mainly positive, firstly the producers and BA did a great job which was noted on, but from a personal point of view, I always felt as in I was in control of the show and that was also noted on as I believe this is vital for a producer.
Everything seems great when you organise a show with everybody at the meetings you have, the ideas seem great and really exciting until you get to the process of actually creating content and the show itself. Of course its still great fun, but a lot of hard work! Searching for people who would be able to give relative content was tough and finding ideas on what to do packages on. Then doing enough practice to get prepared enough for the live show and also balancing this with other work from different modules and another radio drama project. It was tough but we managed it through some great teamwork, I tried my best to make sure everyone enjoyed their part in the show, The presenters Iona and Josh we’re great, sounded natural, confident and having lots of conviction in their presenting. The co-hosts Dalt and Coutnie who gave good reletive full answers every time they were asked, and for being confident behind the microphone due to this being their first involvement in a live radio broadcast. The BA, Louron, for assuring me with confidence throughout the show that the changes he needed to make would be done efficiently, in which they were.
It was process I really enjoyed and something I found challenging and rewarding.
