[hide]Suggestions
One of the show's strong points has been its ability to help people make connections between events and ideas which are normally disconnected by the mainstream media, so each show should strive to connect with themes and ideas from previous shows, and should also make connections between the different items. The best way to understand this show is, of course, to listen to a bunch of previous episodes.
Timing
A typical shows goes something like this:
hour #1
* 4 min - Credits, introduction * 55 min - Main presentation
hour #2
* 5 min - Music (for commercial break/station identification) * 52 min - 2-3 shorter pieces, with commentary * 2 min - Wrap up, end credits
Hour #1 has to stand alone, unintroduced (at least for new listeners), while hour #2 should mean more because of its position after hour #1, so could involve more complex ideas which build on the earlier material. One suggestion would be, to have hour #1 outlining a general trend, and hour #2 giving specific instances (or vice versa).
What to Say
When introducing material, remember to state who is speaking, and on what occasion, where and when. For complex material, it may be good to give an explanation of the main points and/or how it links to the rest of the show. Where possible, try to end the show on a positive, looking at people who are making a difference and tackling the issues raised in the show.
Rules
- Speak what's interesting and true ☺
- Make it 119 minutes, to fit our radio slots. Two parts of 59:30 length each is recommended, but not mandated
