Seminar Critique #3

It's Alive: "Why Radio Survived The Death Of Traditional Media"

Lots of guests  and even a performance this week!
  • Lauren Brain – newsreader and presenter at Nova FM
  • May Hu – senior producer in the Mandarin language department at SBS radio
  • Jennifer Bowen – freelancer at ABC Radio National
  • Jack Post – Cacklin Jack (via pre-recorded video)
  • Damon Hughes – producer of Triple J Unearthed
  • Live performance by Lurch and Chief (Triple J Unearthed Band)
The diversity in guests was so great, because it ranged from young and accessible (Damon) to more respectable, older figures in radio. A great look into the scope of radio. 
There were times in this seminar when I felt that the audio was a little low - but it was a small hiccup in the overall running of the seminar. They managed to get through all the guests in time but it didn't feel too rushed. It was nice to have so many guests because I didn't tire of any of them. 
Audience participation was encouraged, and Rose did a great job as host. There were a couple of moments when her skills as host were put to the test, but she did a good job of handling the situations. Overall this seminar was handled well, with good guests and a lively discussion.
