We did it.  Our first group project, and my first experience with making a radio show.  Never thought I’d be doing any sound editing, much less participating in producing a show for airing on radio.  How cool is that?  I have a new appreciation for how much work goes into taking sound and making more […]

So we have settled on the look of our poster! We freak’n love it too; daring, colorful, vibrant, urban, with a raw and edgy twist. All things that describe the group of gals we are.

This week focused a lot on my group project. I did two update posts on the project, a preliminary post and then another once our work on the project was almost finished. I made two commercials for my group (Games and Jameson), recorded some audio for the show and I was in charge of planning […]

It’s finally completed! The best radio show of all time, or at least that I have ever been a part of making (of which this is the first ). It was really cool to make and everyone in my group was so cool and smart. Maggie and Kris had the most clever commercials, Imran made […]

As Week 8 comes to an end, our radio show comes to live. Although we did not have a lot of different assignments to complete like the previous weeks, week 8 was a lot of work. Putting together a 30 minute radio show isn’t as easy as you would think! And that’s only thinking about […]
