Radio Lab: Day #7

Over the past month I have listened to 5 hours of radio driving to Salem, Indiana and home. I am constantly listening to how smooth it all sounds and the transitions. Also, right after spring break I spent 2 hours listening and critiquing Ben Backer's recorded show. I also listened to Pam Litherland's show that was approximately 30-minutes long. Finally, this past Wednesday, I was able to listen to 1 hour of Ben's show live because the website kept messing up. What I was able to hear, I really enjoyed.

Radio Lab: Day #6

Yesterday I got into the radio station at 1:00 p.m and spent roughly a half an hour getting my music set up. I started the show at exactly 1:38 with Made To Love by Toby Mac which is #1 on the Billboard Hot Christian Music Chart this week. I also played The Fray, Casting Pearls, and Hillsong. All of these were artist's that I had never played on The Fortress. Also, half way through the show my friend Matt Bedwin shared the weather with us and a sports report on Bass fishing championships. A little more into the show my mentee/friend Chris Jones shared some news with us. It was nice to have them on the show to make it a little more interesting. I finished the first half of the show @ 2:35 and started the second half the next day at 7:27 p.m. During the second half of the show I played some new music from Everyday Sunday, and decided to showcase a different summer Christian music festival on the rest of my shows. This show I showcased the Ichthus Music Festival held in Wilmore, KY. The whole show was going great until the very end when I tried to play an Everyday Sunday song and it didn't play the first time. I also downloaded a new song to play and it started playing in the middle of another song. Besides those few errors, the rest of the show went great. I am really enjoying the radio station and am learning a lot.

Radio Lab: Day #5

I got into the station today around 5:30 p.m. and started looking for music. I was excited tonight because I found Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart which I was able to play the top 7 songs. I started the show @ 6:03 with a newer artist named Ayiesha Woods. I was excited about the music I was going to play a several new songs and have a recap of the concert I went to over spring break. The first hour went really well and I was really enjoying myself. At the beginning of the second hour I played two newer artists Drew Cline and Nate Beals and the Back Alley Band. However towards the end of the show I made a mistake and my music stopped so I had to end my show a little early.
