Old Skool Urban

  • Jack Ryan
The show named 'Old Skool Urban' was part of the specialist music section of 'University Radio Nottingham' (URN). The student-run radio station has finished first place in the BBC Student Radio Awards for five consecutive years including awards in best entertainment, news department and marketing/sound. The show required me to compile specific playlists for my genre whilst creating new features to prompt interaction with listeners. It also required my ability to use professional radio equipment to produce each performance whilst communicating with listeners. I managed the social media aspects of the show through sites such as Facebook and Mixcloud to keep in contact with listeners and give access to past shows and playlists. The radio show was chosen by the station to be entered for the 'Best Entertainment' award. Alongside the show I have performed as a DJ at a live venue in Nottingham.
