What are the different responsibilities of presenters and
producers?
The presenters need to
ensure that they are going to ask the best possible questions to the person they are interviewing to interest the audience, being entertaining. Producer
need to make sure tasks or games suit the person. Guests need to be briefed, radio
callers need to be spoken so they know what to do.
What preparation that goes into each programme?
The day before is
usually when they decide the routine for the show, e.g. question they'll ask
the person being interviewed and timing. The timing is flexible so they are
able to change what they speak about, meaning that they can speak about more
recent interesting thing if something new breaks. Due to the target audience
and people who are being interviewed, they do not need to spend a lot of time in
creating long in depth questions. Instead they need to ensure that the 10
questions they ask, are the best questions they can ask. Constant preparation
through their Whats App group chat about upcoming news, Every morning when the
producers come in they need to check social media and news sites to check that
they are going to cover everything that needs covering.
What's most challenging and most enjoyable about working on
the show?
Enjoyable, working together as a team, as a dysfunctional
family. Also finding thing that you find funny that could be spoken about on
the radio. Being able to play new music, be informative creating a good show.
Being able to chose who come on so that they can interview them.
What are the team dynamics like?
The team have to work close together and communicate also in
order for everyone to create the best show for the millions of listeners.
Working in a small studio, working close together, so everyone has to know what
each other likes. Producers ask to everyone questions to learn new things and
new ideas. New producers make people want to learn new things, in order to make
the show better.
How can you break into radio?

station to get used to how it all works, and to get used to the environment.
