Seasonal Opportunities

It's all rather depressing reaching the end of the semester. Especially after walking through the radio studios here where all the lights and electrical equipment have been switched off, apart from the computers that are vital to keep Smoke Radio running. Just as well that I managed to get the promos for Refreshers Week completed in time after Ricky asked me at short notice. That probably confirms that we will be doing another week of live shows at the beginning of next semester which I think is a really good idea as we barely did anything last year until lectures started properly in semester 2.

There's still quite a few radio related stuff going on before I go back to Canterbury next Thursday including four consecutive shows on BXFM, but what's even more exciting is that I will be helping out at Classic FM on Sunday with their charity Christmas auction. I think it's a brilliant opportunity to be helping out at one of the UK's successful radio stations
and I'm looking forward to lending a hand answering the phones and helping out behind the scenes. I may even see if I can get a bit of insider gossip on "The Jazz" which has just started their test transmissions on DAB.

I've been told to be more relaxed when dealing with stressfull issues in radio during the News and Magazine module and Classic FM should be the perfect starting point.
