Radio Ikhlas - Week 8

This morning I got to Radio Ikhlas at 7:30am, which was quite a feat when I left the flat late. I read the weather and travel updates for the Derby area at 7:45, 8:15 and 8:45. This morning we disscussed the days weather as usual, Shabana also got me to talk about how the weather has been in Leeds whilst she took a listener request.

During the show today Shabana forgot to take the mic fader down when she started playing a song then began talking to me, I indicated this to her and she resolved the problem. At another point in the programme she forgot to take the mic up when she started speaking, she did realise after a few moments but during the next song she said how everyone made mistakes and that I will have learnt from the experience. This amused me because I did the same thing during my D:One radio show this week.

Radio Ikhlas Week 7

This morning was my first day at radio Ikhlas of 2013. It was cold and icy on my way to the radio station but after the 45min walk I had warmed up. Once at the station I got the travel and weather updates for 7:45 bulletin, then again at 8:15 and 8:45.

From 9am I srarted work on a piece about the 2011-12 recession for next weeks show. I went onto do research into community radio for my Work based Learning module, which this work experience is for.
