Well here we are on the barge on the 4th day of this stint of Alrewas Radio, and everything is going smoothly. At least it was until about 5 minutes ago, when Jamie decided it would be a good idea to remove the power from the internet router and see what that did. Turns out it turns the internet off, freezes the computer and stops the broadcast. Oh dear.
Despite the technical trouble, we are just reflecting on how good the actual quality of the radio, and the quality of the broadcasting is this time round. With the new set up, of micing up each presenter individually, and also using a mixer box with preamps and xlr signals means that we can actually be more focused and comfortable on what we are doing and therefore there is more room for banter in this situation.
The interactions between the presenters on their shows is also a lot better. Everyone is more confident at being on air and that means that they can be relaxed and have more fluent conversations.
Also the allocation of shows means that there is a more regular and reliable, within reason of people being ill and people having to work of course, but we have done this for 3 runs, so we are starting to establish a balance of the presenters that work really well and flow nicely.
In retrospect, the one show that has been a bit dodgy has been the decades hour at the end of the day. It hasn't at all been the decades it was supposed to be and has turned more into an "anybody and anything" show. Maybe we should just leave this open as one of those shows, or maybe find somebody else to do it, as opposed to people who have already done a show during the day.
We would really like to know what you think and any suggestions that you have so please let us know, you can email them to alrewasradio@hotmail.co.uk, or you can write on the page or in the group on facebook: www.facebook.com/alrewasradio or you can tweet us @AlrewasRadio
