Well those who are not radio students at the University of Glamorgan may have read the above title in confusion. Exposure radio is a radio station that is set up by all the radio students for their fellow students, staff of the University and for anyone to listen too online. It is an opportunity for us to take the skills that we have and are being taught, and put them in to practice. As well as the presentation skills, this will help us to understand how timing can be absolutely crucial in a live radio scenario.

I will post the link at the end of my blog and I hope that you will all tune in and support our radio station.

Tomorrow I am going in to present a show that is almost like a rehearsal. It’s a time to iron out any problems that we might have. One of my major concerns is that my Pac Mate, which is a Braille note taker, at times, only reads half lines. My worry is that it will affect my delivery of the script. In a pre-record, this is not a problem as it can all be edited to sound natural, however, in a live situation, this is obviously not possible. If anyone has experience of Braille note takers or you just have a suggestion, then I would love to hear from you. My mum Beverley, who is my support assistant, is currently transcribing the script in to a format that is accessible to me. Once this has been achieved I will try and copy from the computer on to my note taker. If I am not able to do this, then I will type the script manually in to the note taker. I will write again tomorrow evening about how the show goes.
As promised that link is:
