Training to do a radio show!

Posted by Lionelion - June 4th, 2013


So this local radio station where Ive been volunteering for the past few months does this once a year thing where they take volunteers and train them to do live on air radio shows, and I was recommended to do the training! There were 2 little seminar talks that we had to attend, just to learn about the basics, what to do, what not to do, how to be prepared, all that stuff. Afterwards, we got to pick out separate dates to get trained within the studio's on air room, and thats when we get to learn about how to run the room, first observing someone in action, and then doing it for ourselves. At first, all we'll get to do is simple stuff, like doing little 15 minute segments, or temporarily filling in for someone if theyre late or something, but soon after, if all goes well, we'll get to request to do our own show!
Needless to say, I was pretty excited about that. My first thought was "VG music. Tons and tons of VG music", but then I stopped, and thought about it for a bit, because odds are not many people who listen to the radio are gonna like VG music, unless I pick like the absolute best VG music from across all games. So then my second thought was "Why not play some music from NG?", and that sounded like a great idea to me, because we have some great music artists on here, but some of them arent getting enough recognition, so I thought I'd do my part, even if its just something small like this(this is a local radio station, so im pretty sure it doesnt get heard outside the city I live in).
Ive already got a little over 100 songs on my ipod that ive downloaded from NG, but at least half of them are VG remixes, so im gonna be looking for more. If anyone knows about some awesome music here on NG that isnt VG themed, please let me know! Im not worrying about sticking to one genre, like rock or classical or techno, so i'll take just about anything you guys throw at me, as long as its good enough! I'll do my best to incorporate it into the radio show i'll(hopefully)be doing!

Ooh, that sounds like a great opportunity (and experience) for you! Not to mention a cool thing to do for the ng audio folks. You should make a thread in the audio forum... I'm sure you'll get swapped with people offering up their tunes. You might even get some other tips that you weren't expecting!!

Good luck with it ...and have fun!! :D

Thanks for the tip, will do!

You lucky bastard! My dream is to start a punk rock radio station.

How I envy you.

But, whatever. Good luck!

Haha thanks. Its not as much as it may seem, but its still something

So how'd it go/is it going?

Due to my being away a week in california, I had to delay my second training, so im currently in that phase, but once that is done, i'll start doing regular hours, which will hopefully develop into my own show!
