Episode 5 - Phone Ins, Sharing & Features

When you dream of working on a sexy specialist show why would you bother learning how to handle the phones?

Well, phone opping is quite often the first job you'll have at a radio station, and when a caller goes wrong it can go spectacularly wrong. As BBC Radio 2 Tim Johns says, a lot of work experience newbies live or die within a shift or two working the phones. In this episode I give you a heads start in how to keep calm your first few times.

Radio is no longer restricted to sound; it’s now a 360 degree medium where shareable content is king. In this episode we discuss the power of social media and the importance of always searching to add longevity to into a radio feature.

Helping aspiring producers is a passion close to my heart, I'm so excited to start sharing my work and the knowledge I'm gathering with you. Your thoughts and opinions are always welcome. Feel free to drop me a line here, on Twitter or on Facebook
