This was a very good read. I did an excellent job at summarizing everything we've been talking about in terms of conducting successful interviews. Being a comic, it was very conversational and easy to follow and understand. The illustrations also helped give the text even more of a conversational feel. I think this is a great guide for anyone looking into radio.
I loved that they included the stories on how they got started in radio and gave tips on how to get into the field because it is something that I have always wondered about. I always suspected that radio is it's own little world that you just kind of have to dive into in order to start working in it and it looks like I was right. But this really helped me feel like it would be a fun venture and the piece makes it seem like there is good collaboration among people working on a story. It gives a sense of a radio community that I feel compelled to explore.
I was amazed that 12 hours of materials turns into just a few minutes. It definitely helped me feel better about my first project! I thought I was crazy because I gathered almost 3 hours of interview material for only a total of 3 minutes, but I guess it can get a lot crazier than that.
I'm really glad that we were assigned this piece because like someone mentioned before, it was not a boring text read. It actually made you want to keep reading. It even made me want to go get an internship at a station. This is definitely a good reference to have in your pocket.
