This is RADIO WEEK – we’re going to do a whole lot of learning and fun activities around what radio actually is! We went back to the studio today to talk about what we know so far: we certainly know how to use microphones well, as we all demonstrated beautifully. We also know about tuning a radio, different platforms radio can come on (digital, satellite, AM/FM), and a lot more about being in an actual broadcast studio now that we’ve been to Radio Camp!

Tomorrow, we’ll be interviewing Larry Berger, host of The Saturday Light Brigade, so today we came up with a few questions that we want to ask. Our questions were FANTASTIC. We are curious about how he got started, how the studio was built and how it works, what being a DJ (and executive director of a non-profit radio station) is like, how content is chosen, and much more. We can’t wait to ask Mr. Larry all these questions ourselves!

Today, we got promoted to amateur reporters! We interviewed Imagination Exploration and Art Activism, two other activities at Camp King. We ALL did such an amazing job, truly. The proof is in the pudding – give a listen and tell us what YOU think!

!!!sremaerD remmuS, yad sdrawkcab yppaH!!! We started out today by listening back to some of the mock interviews we did yesterday. Overall, many of the recordings were really good! After almost three weeks at camp, we know how to handle the H1 recorders well, are very consistent with our microphone technique, and are quickly becoming seasoned interviewers.

We looked at the script we’ll be using for our interviews tomorrow, which used many of the ideas and questions we came up with a few days ago. We got done with that early and went over to Buhl Park for some fun in the sun. Tomorrow’s the big day – time to interview some middle schoolers – so get some rest, campers!
