With regards to my first live show there were a lot of issues which is why I have decided to talk about this show in depth and what improvements could have been made in order to help with my experience with Lend me your ears. The first major problem we had with the show was the audio, nearly all of the audio could not be broadcast due to it being poorly edited, I did some of the editing and for me one of the reasons why it was poorly edited was because of perhaps a slight bit of inexperience as I was unaware how to structure it as well as not knowing whether to keep questions in. This was easily overcome  and I quickly learnt how to edit audio properly ready for the next shows I do.

Another major problem we had was that the script was simply not good enough and did not flow well for a live show, myself and Dan wrote the script as the presenters for the show, and I felt that we were inexperienced with how to write a script for a live show as we had never really done it before which is why perhaps it was poorly written, although with a lot of help from tutors Zara and Dylan this was solved and the script flowed well between the two presenters myself and Dan. I thought that the interviews themselves went very well and some interesting discussions were brought up. As an group overall I think we all did very well taking into consideration it was our first live show an we were all partially inexperienced, we managed to provide an interesting and thought provoking show.

From presenting the live show I learnt a lot not just from carrying out the role of presenter but also aspects of the producer as well as the BA and how to briefly operate the desk as well as providing content to create a good show.  In terms of the groups dynamic I felt that we were all determined to produce a great show and this did not cause any problems with ideas and motivation. If I had to do the show differently I would make sure that as a presenter I read through the script thoroughly and learn the questions for the interviews in order to create a discussion as well as being more confident when presenting. As a group I think we need to distribute work evenly between us all and also to check everything that has been edited making sure that it can be broadcast on Siren. I think there were a lot of weaknesses to the show in comparison to strengths which is why I decided to write about this particular show, one of the main strengths was that the show overall went very well and the producer and BA made sure that mistakes were not made, as well as giving tips and advice to the presenters on how to keep the listeners interested with the show.
