Our Online reporters Joe and Josh asked them about the experience... Phil BowersIt's been very strange having younger people around in the office, as I'm normally one of the youngest here. It's great to see people who want to learn more about radio and journalism. It can be difficult to take time out of what is a very busy job to try and tell someone everything about it, but Eb and Amelia were really fast learners and picked things up really well. Sport isn't the easiest subject to get to grips with, especially if you're inexperienced, but both of them did really well. Amelia - Bulletin ReaderWhen I arrived I sat at the sport desk, everyone was friendly offered lots of help. I started by re-writing the sports headlines and the bulletins. I was nervous about my first time on BBC Radio Stoke, however you just have to take it as it comes and it turned out to be fine. The whole experience has been thoroughly enjoyable and exciting, although the work has been busy I have coped quite well. After my first sports reading my mum text me saying well done and all my friends have been texting to see how things have been going, it is really nice. Ebrahim - Bulletin ReaderI worked at the Sports Desk this morning. I was very nervous when I began , but gained quickly in confidence. Graham is an absolute legend, and I've had a brilliant day - absolutely amazing! Listen to the team in action...How would you cope with the red light? Would you be nervous reading the news to all of BBC Radio Stoke’s listeners? Our School Day news and sport readers took it all in their stride. Listen to extracts from bulletins by Kate, Joe, Eb, Sam, Rosa and Amelia. Plus a surprise from Joe! |
