Hi everyone, There's been a drop out so: One place available for Saturday's masterclass from 2:00 till 3:30 (ish) . The best training (sorry Keir) you'll get all year and it's completely free (to radio members). First to reply to me gets it. Here's the spiel: Roushan is an IC Radio alumnus who now works as a producer for BBC Radio 1, working with the likes of Scott Mills, Greg James, Zane Lowe and Annie Mac. He'll be running a session on how to produce and present a high quality radio show focusing on on: links, programme structure, planning and presentation. He's also going to show you how to best use social media to talk to your audience. You should also bring along a recording of ~3 of your links to listen to - these are the bits where you talk between songs. You can download an mp3 from the members area and free software like Audacity is easy to use to edit out the songs. Make sure you keep the beginning and ending of songs. Happy radioing, George

Hey all, For those who didn't know, we have a fantastic professional-level recording studio down in the West Basement of Beit Quad, just next to the radio broadcast studio. I'm going to be running a few lessons teaching you the basics of how to record and mix anything from a podcast through to a symphony orchestra, big band or death metal group... If you're interested, could you please fill in this form<http://tiny.cc/icrprod>by the end of the weekend (this doesn't commit you to anything)? There'll likely be a couple sessions this term to allow you to use the studio safely, and some masterclasses teaching good practice and techniques at the end of term or next term. Max
