critiques
I went to a session today, almost on accident which turned out to work to my benefit. The advisor did not show up to the original session I planned on attending so I jumped over to another session that was held. It was critiquing others production samples and DJing styles. I thought it was very […]

The Last Day
It’s our final full day in Austin. So far I’ve been to two round table discussions for radio: Traffic and News. The traffic session turned out to be very beneficial. Contrary to what I thought, it wasn’t about congested highways and construction, but rather about the traffic within a station and who controls what is […]

So, I went to this session today on making the best first impression on a job interview or just in general to future employers. Great session. The session taught us everything from where to put your hands after you give a handshake, to how to sit during the interview. These are things that not many […]

How can I use social media to benefit SCAD Student Media? Andy Dehnart used his time to discuss these social media tools and how to […]

CBI- Day 1
The first session I went to was “The Big Picture” which was for journalists, but still related to radio in my opinion. The keynote speakers brought up the idea that young adults think that “if news is important, it will find me.” This is interesting because it is forcing news updates to be minutely, rather […]

Checking in from the Savannah College of Art and Design
Howdy, y’all! That was what welcomed me to Texas. A giant sign in the Austin airport, pretty much saying “Hey. If you didn’t know, you’re not in Savannah.” Our flight went well, a little delayed but it was a welcome respite from work and not sleeping. At this point I should probably introduce myself. I’m […]
