Before your show

To begin with we'd like to explain how we feel presenters should prepare for their shows.

It's recommended you do some sort of planning before your show. Be it your music list, your opening line, some topics to talk about etc. We find shows often work best when there has been some planning involved but room has been left to be spontaneous.

Make sure you know how you are going to play music during your show. Playlisted? You'll mainly be using RadioDJ. Specialist? Are you going to use your MP3 player or a computer or vinyl etc.?

You should aim to be in the studio five minutes before your show begins. This means that you are ready for the handover from the previous show and can begin to set yourself up to go on-air.
