It kind of started off like that for me; Holding court at the back of the class a few minutes before prep time ended, talking about football’s greatest players and teams, chipping in my own thoughts and heavily tainted opinions.

SO YOU WANT TO BE ON RADIO? SITES & RESOURCES

Image
I visit quite a number of radio sites on a daily basis and spend quality time assimilating discussions and video tutorials. I have been told that knowledge is expected to be shared and not hoarded lest one suffers from "knowledge constipation". So while I may not possess the qualifications to run certified teaching classes yet, I can still refer those who need them to resources that may help boost their career intentions. There are no easy roads, so you must be willing to invest in time and data consumption. Are we ready? Let's go! 1. RADIO I LOVE IT! This site provides me with some of the most incredible articles and experiences of actual successful radio jockeys and producers. They also provide links to really incredible sources with tools to help fledgling radio stations and help presenters/producers perform better. If you're interested in Radio, this site is a must visit. Don't forget to subscribe to their email too to get regular updates too. 2.
