Update on BBC Radio Northampton Work Placement September 2013

Hey Lads and Lasses

I contacted my mentor at BBC RN today to introduce myself and find out what sort of things I will be getting up to and all I can say WOW !!!!!!

I'm so so SO excited about this I cant wait to get there and learn so many new things.

Day 1 - Admin , Health and Safety, go through policies and procedures and then get some training on the recording and editing equipment.

Day 2 - Lunch program - going out with the reporter and shadowing them

Day 3 - Breakfast program - go out with reporter and if feel confident enough possibly interview some members of the public !!

Day 4 - Early program - out and about with the reporter

Day 5 - Choice of repeating what my favourite bit was or chance to experience a different area. My mentor suggested possibly going in with the production team and seeing how they put a show together !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm thinking I may chose that .



So I rang up and explained who I was and the lady said she knew who I was and was excited about me going to do some work experience with them. She was lovely and explained that my schedule as such was made to fit my interests ... she said to me that she could see from my application that I am very keen on the reporting side of things and so she has got me getting involved with the reporters ... HOW AMAZING IS THAT ... She took the time to read my application and set up an experience relevant to me ... I'm so happy and glad that Rhian told me about this because I would have never applied if it wasn't for her encouragement. THANKS !!!!

So ... in September I will be writing on here to tell you what I'm getting up to and by the sounds of things its going to be AMAZING !!!!
