Hi,

Just thought I'd do a quick blog detailing what I've been up to today. A typical day really, I started off by adding community events to our OSA website. Once approved, they get added to the calendar from which the live event scripts get made up from.

Next, I decided to spend the rest of the morning and a good chunk of the afternoon doing some Monster.FM practice demos. Over two hours flew by as I ended up doing three!

Lastly, I was on the rota to do Live at 5 Showbiz news. It's pre-recorded and needs to be read out perfectly. So far, I've noticed that I have no average time to get it right. Sometimes (like today) it takes about fifteen minutes, however sometimes it takes me almost an hour. If you can't admit something like that on your blog, where can you?

Cheers,
Gavin

Hey,

Welcome to the second installment of my blog! Last Friday was Cash for Kids Day here at MFR. I spent the day listening to the radio and updating the live blog on the main MFR site and the MFR Facebook.

It turned out to be pretty exciting in the last hour as time ticked down towards the end of the on-air portion of the day! Big donations were coming in thick and fast. There was a lot to cover on the blog during the course of the day, including: Ginno's stint in jail, Zumba session in Falcon Square and the various Workplace Challenges around Inverness.

On the Radioskills front, it's going to be a busy week of getting together a 30 minutes and meeting contributors for features. For example, I'm going to a Meet & Greet for the Highland Paranormal Group this coming Wednesday!

Until next time,
Gavin

Early start today as its Cash For Kids Day across MFR. Most of the trainees have jobs to do out with our normal tasks, so today should be a busy one. I am currently waiting at my desk for the radio car to be put into action.....oohh....theres my cue. Speak to you soon!

We've all been busy making our Monster FM demos for the past couple of weeks and it was good fun! 
Its brilliant meeting loads of local people in Inverness and working with them to make it very community orientated. 

Got loads of great things on the cards so watch this space..... Hopefully I will be able to reveal what very soon!

As everyone has been saying or 'blogging', Monster FM seems to be coming round sooner rather than later. I can only agree. When I first started the Radioskills course it seemed Monster FM would take ages to come round. I think we can all say its come much quicker than expected and certainly taken me off guard. However, I'm ready for the challenge and the excessive work that will need to be done in preparation. It can only get better.
