Well for me at least the first week of presenting the Good Afternoon Show has been completed. So to the end of our initial 5 year licence there are now only 259 weeks to go!!
Presenting in my view is the best part of being involved in Radio as you get the opportunity to talk to some great people. People who have a story to tell, who are really enthusiastic about what they are doing and who give you hope for our town and country.
This week I have talked to Peter Brown, Bournemouth’s Leisure Facilities Manager, Beryl Bye of Fit Lives, Vic King and Patricia Davis of the Westbourne Orchhestral Society and Amy Kemp and Nicolas ??? of the Volunteers Section of Dorset Police. Quite a mix , but all of whom have a real passion for what they are involved in.
So thank you to them all for giving me a real HOPE.
What are your passions ( clean ones only please!!). You never know you may get the opportunity to talk to me on the radio about them.
We made it!!!!
At 3.00 yesterday, 27 May 2007 we started our full-time broadcasts.
I’m not sure where the last 4 weeks of my blogg have gone suffice to say that things have been extremely hectic. Why is it that however much time you give yourself to prepare, however much you plan, you still work right up to the deadline. That has certainly been the case with us. But we made it.
Radio is a bit like a duck swimming on water. When you see a duck moving around a pond all seems calm and peaceful, yet under the water the ducks legs are working away furiously. So it is with radio, when you listen in all seems calm etc (well hopefully) and yet behind the scenes people are dashing around like headless chickens.
I’m now off to do my first programme at 2.00pm; you can hear me on 90.1fm between 2.00pm and 3.00pm Monday through Wednesday. Good listening.
