Listening To: Jump Into The Fog - The Wombats
Wise Words: "Never say goodbye, because saying goodbye means going away, and going away means forgetting...." - Peter Pan
The
first thing I took from Richard Fidler is that television and radio are two
very different mediums, which work completely differently. He goes on to say
that radio is a much more intimate medium, unlike tv, which is a high impact
media that is almost shouting at you, radio almost becomes a voice in your head
while you are undertaking another activity.
He
also gave advice on the methods for telling stories effectively on radio. His
main point is that you must make the listeners feel included; empathise with
them, entertain them and capture the moment. Another point that really struck
me was to never be afraid of silence, as silence is really powerful in radio;
it’s truthful and revealing.
Steve
Austin also touches on this point, saying that you need to give the audience
some space to reveal themselves; rather than a constant bombardment of
questions.
I
guess silence really is golden,
Emily
