Living In A Radio World
My name is Tom Kempson and I’m in my second year of university. I’m studying Media Production and this year I’m specialising in Radio & Design.
So It’s been a Year at University and it’s time for the second year to commence!
It’s been a week or two since Freshers. It’s now time to get stuck in! Our first workshop was a breakdown of what the year had in store. At first I thought it was overwhelming but it soon settled in after the first two lectures and workshops. The workshops will consist of useful practice and simultaneously we will be going live on SirenFM! This made me quite nervous to begin with, however once I went through the module guide paired with the useful lectures and workshops, I’ve reached the conclusion this’ll be an exciting year!
To kick the year off. I made a Facebook group so we could all support eachother and keep in contact for group activites.
After creating the Facebook group and becoming familiar with my group, we began meeting and discussing ideas for content and a theme for the show. But first, introducing…

After our initial meeting, I decided to collate my notes so that they’d be easily accessible to both me and the team on the Facebook group.
