2 shows down …
In class we presented our progress with somewhat disappointing results. No one called in for our first show, which is no fun, but building an audience takes time. This week we did a show job landscape in Missouri. We had a couple of people in the chatroom engaging each other. Even though one woman turned out to be a guest’s mother from Lexington, SC, it was still good that people are using the chat function. Before and after the taping, I took some photos to add to the facebook fan page. We’ll be taking more photos for promotional purposes and eventually do some backstage video as well.
I was working on producing Monday’s show on biking in Columbia. This includes gathering all the pre interviews and research I’ve done for Reuben to have. We put them in a paper folder so that he can reference it if he needs to. It was hard to get more information from a previous pre interview because I wasn’t getting a call back, even though I thought that he had confirmed. Eventually I called him enough that I was able to get through. Hopefully Reuben will feel prepared with the info I gave him. I also booked two guests for a show on human trafficking. So it’s been a paticularly busy week producing, but I’m glad that I’ve done this class for capstone rather than just volunteering my time. I feel like so far, I’ve gotten a lot out of it.
