Session 5 - Radio Show

During this session, I worked with Hannah to make a short, factual style of news programme. During the programme, we used a mix of humour and news items in order to create a very listenable and enjoyable radio piece. More importantly than the actual content, it was helpful to be able to use Audacity in order to make the programme. I myself have used Audacity before as I used to use it to record myself playing guitar (before I got some better software), so it was very helpful to remind myself of how to use it. During mine and Hannah's 'Radio Show', the news items we covered were gangland violence on the streets of Cardiff, the election of a new Pope, and the murder of Paralympic athlete Oscar Pristorious' girlfriend. The aspects of Audacity which I found useful were the use of different audio tracks and being able to use tools such as 'Noise Removal' and 'Changing the pitch'.
