St Pauls Barnfield Scouts created their own radio show called A-Z show on Goss Fm at Accrington Academy on 27th October 2009. They had the opportunity of working with the Goss FM DJ, Mark. They learnt about radio by answering questions such as 'Why Radio?', 'How do we listen?', What types of radio?' etc. This gave them an overview about Radio. 

They had to work out who was going to do which roles in the show, this ranged from the shows producer down to those being interviewed. The had to decide on the content from the show:-
News, Sport, Weather, What's On, Chit Chat, Special Guests and the Songs.

The shows producer had to work out what the running order is going to be and learn all of the controls on the radio desk. He had to pick the identity tags, how long the item of the show was going to last, which songs to choose in order to make sure that the show was 25minutes long, so that we did not over run.

While the shows producer was doing this the others where preparing their parts of the show by using the national and local news papers to gather news, up to date sport details, weather and the local what's on events that where happening over the kids holidays.

Once everyone had gathered their material they had to have a practice to make sure that they did not over run the timings on their parts. Then it was ready for the real thing - the Live show.

At 1 o'clock it was the scouts turn on the radio doing their A-Z show at Accrington Academy. The show, minus the songs played can be found here.

The leaders also enjoyed the scouts enthusiasm and commitment to the show and feel that they got a lot out of the day. The pictures can be found in our gallery.

As part of their writes badge the Scouts were asked to complete a write up of the days events.
Here is what Zack, Alex and Sam had to say about their day.

The boys did very well and I am sure they are all future Radio 1 presenters! Thank you for organising such a rewarding experience.

Well done

P.S music was good but clips too long for radio during the daytime!!
