This year I embark upon my second year at the college, studying HNC Radio which I hope to follow up with HND Radio next year. Although it was a tough decision deciding what to do after I finished Media Productions in June, I am very pleased that I chose to do Radio.
Over the summer I was involved with a local community radio station called KTown FM, which as well as being very fun, provided me with lots of new experiences and opportunities. One of Fife’s biggest events this summer was the Big Tent Festival in Falkland and as a member of the ‘KTown News Team’ I got the chance to interview lots of interesting people and gain lots of new skills. The Big Tent Festival was – as always – a great cultural gathering of people from all walks of life. It also had a great selection of bands, which gave me great interview opportunities.
Among many others, some of my favourite (and probably most recognisable) interviewees were folk singer King Creosote, radio journalist Lesley Riddoch, Adelaide Sosseh, and a personal favourite – children’s entertainer Mr Boom.
Over the summer I also got to interview lots of interesting people from all over Fife, such as Flog It! Expert James Lewis who has also recently featured on Antiques Roadtrip.
I hope to use this blog to upload podcasts and interviews that I conduct over the rest of this year.
