New Radio Challenge
2 Friends introduced me to Wandsworth radio where they present their own show on a Tuesday evening. Looking at the schedule, there appeared to be an opening for a travel related show, so I contacted the organizer to see if there may be an opportunity.
I received a pretty swift response, and I made arrangements to have a meeting to discuss my ideas. it was pretty clear that we all had similar ideas, so I was in!
Listening to a radio show in the comfort of your own home is totally different from presenting one! It takes a great deal on preparation, and a good deal on nerves....particularly in the last 20 seconds before going "on air"
I try to keep the style light, and interesting. I have regular guests on the show, ranging from hotel companies, to tour operators, event websites to tourist boards. I also give details of special offers, the weather around the world, latest major currency exchange rates, and mix it all together with a great selection of music from around the world.
I encourage listeners to phone in with their holiday questions, and advice, as well as giving more localized information on what is on in the local area.
Its a fun show, and is hopefully increasing knowledge of travel, as well as me and my business in the local area. So if you are free on Friday morning....why not tune in and have a listen? the site is www.wandsworthradio.com and my show is called "Wandsworth Wanderlust". We are on air from 10am every Friday morning.
