Getting Better Acquainted episodes

  • GBA 48 Emma
    In GBA 48 we get better acquainted with Emma. She talks broadcast journalism, interview techniques, radio, netball and more. We swap "Networking" stories and I go through all the shameful moments where I have met the right people and said the wrong things.
    This episode, with the one before it, and the one after it, forms a sort of accidental miniseries about people who are involved in making audio. This wasn’t fully intentional but is welcomed nevertheless. I do programme the show for variety and there is still variety within these three episodes; however GBA is not always about people who exist in the audio world.
    I met Emma through http://said.fm/ which has morphed into http://thesupertimes.com/
