Writing and Presenting for Broadcast

Are you interested in developing skills for diffusing your research to a wider public via radio broadcasting?

This one day workshop introduces skills for presenting your research for podcast or radio broadcast, including an introduction to script writing, interviewing and presentation techniques and basic technical skills for recording and editing.

Part one will focus on writing and presenting, in which we will write a script for a podcast or radio show based around PhD research.

Part two will take place in a BBC radio studio, at BBC Broadcasting House, central London, led by BBC Technical producer and electroacoustic music researcher Jo Langton Hutton, in which we will record and edit a podcast/radio show. Participants will swap roles in the studio, to experience the different disciplines of a live BBC broadcast.

Jo Langton Hutton is a Techne alumni whose research focusses on women composers of electroacoustic music. 

Penny Gore has worked for BBC Radio 3 for many years, writing and presenting live concerts and pre-recorded programmes, as well as being the voice of TV documentaries on a wide variety of subjects.
