Hello there,
I'm your new Head of Programming and your Head of Publicity. There are
several opportunities coming up for existing presenters, though if you're
not interested, please just respond and answer for me this one question,
then you can safely ignore the rest of the email:
*Thinking back to your first ever show, would having an experienced
presenter sitting with you and able to help out have been useful, or would
it just have made you feel awkward and under pressure?*
Mentoring
Still reading? Great! If enough people think it's a good idea, we'll be
giving new presenters the option to have an experienced mentor join them
for their first show. If you have any presenting experience and would like
to do this, let me know: new presenters will still have had full training,
so you'll just be there for moral support and to help out if they mess up,
and it'll take as little as one hour of your time.
Photo Shoots
Secondly, we would like some photos of presenters at work in the studio or
generally having a good time for promotional materials. I also want one of
a row of presenters bending over in front of a camera for one of our
freshers recruitment campaign posters (there's a good reason for that,
honest!), so if anyone doesn't mind that being plastered all over campus,
or if you just want to be in one of the less risqué photos, let myself or
Max Hunter, our technical manager and photographer, know. He'll be back in
late September, but getting those done in the first couple of weeks of term
would be no problem, either.
Freshers' Week
Finally, I'd like to get the shedule populated before term starts, and have
people begin presenting in Freshers' Week so our incoming new students have
something to listen to - so get your requests in early for prime slots. Do
you have any ideas for special shows or events for that week? If not, I'm
sure George has some that he'll need help with!
I'm going to End of the Road festival over the weekend, so I'll respond to
emails and sort out scheduling on a first-come-first-serve basis on Monday.
Regards,
Keir Little, Head of Programming
