Changing Frequencies: Capacity Building Training on Radio Content Production

I reached late to Beach Luxury on 20 Jan, 2025 due to traffic jam on the main artery of Karachi Shahrah-e-Faisal. A pick-up truck broke down at Drigh Road, resulting into miles long traffic jam on in morning rush hour.

Missing the welcome note by Najia Asher, I joined the training from Session 1: Trends in Radio Content Production. 



Hands-on Experience in Podcast Production

This session focused on the technical part of production, where Mr. Attique displayed and demonstrated mics, cameras, and mobile phones which can be used for making a podcast. A handson group activity was performed by participant to produce podcasts in natural light setting and studio light setting. The expert recommended that Google Pixel can be the best mobile phone which can be used for MoJo (Mobile Journalism). 

The Business of Radio: Thinking Like an Entrepreneur

One key take away from this workshop was to think like an entrepreneur radio professional, instead of a salaried radio professional. Mr. Faisal from Pulse Communication shared his experience about how radio presenters on community radio in America, are now buying time slots from radio channels and make a business plan to sell their program multiple market techinques. This approach opened up new avenues for radio professionals like myself to monetize their content and reach wider audiences.

This initiative was funded by US Consulate Karachi. A quick brief of Green Alliance Framework: Advancing US-Pakistan Cooperation for Sustainable Development was presented followed by the most exciting session of the training.


AI in Radio Programming: EXCITING! SPOOKY! MESMERIZING!

Ayaz Khan delivered techincal skills with Artificial Intellgence in Radio Programming. I must confess, it made me feel I belong to stone age. The session comprised of hands-on training on AI tools for programming, reporting, podcasting. AI assisted scriptwriting, and podcasting training. My favorites tool was Notebooklm: https://notebooklm.google.com, which I am using as my digital assistant in my studies also.


The first day of the training was an great educational experience, I will share the next experience of Day 2: Advance Podcast Production and Content Development by Steve Youngblood in my next blog.
