NORWICH TEEN GETS FIRST TASTE OF LIFE ON AIR – THANKS TO FUTURE RADIO!

Written by on .

Nora, a budding young radio
presenter from Norwich, was treated to a Radio Show Experience for her
birthday, by her Dad, Jon Whitehead. Nora picked her own songs, wrote her own
script and recorded her show in Future Radio’s studios on Woodcock Road. Her show
was then broadcast in Norwich, Cambridge and Kings Lynn and added to Future
Radio’s website for all to hear. Nora enjoyed the experience so much, that
Future Radio invited her back to the station for an afternoon of hands-on live
radio presenting with Drive Presenter, Richard Maun.  Nora helped line up
tracks, controlled the desk, and even went live! The experience gave her a
front-row seat to what goes into producing and presenting a radio show.

Future Radio has launched
its new Radio Show Experiences as it identified that many people don’t have the
opportunity to get involved in the creative and media industries in the local
area. The station is always keen to support and inspire the next generation of
broadcasters, and older people who have listened to radio all their lives and
have wondered what it would be like to present a show.

Speaking about the
experience, Nora said:
“It was amazing to be part of a real radio show and see how it all
works behind the scenes. I loved getting to talk on air and choosing the music
– it made me want to do this even more when I’m older! If you’re into music or
radio, I’d definitely recommend getting in touch with Future Radio. It’s been
such a fun start to my journey!”

Christopher Remer, Business Development
Manager at Future Radio, said:
“We were absolutely delighted to have Nora join us for the afternoon.
She brought great energy and passion to the studio. As Norwich’s community
radio station, we’re always open to people’s voices being heard on air, and
it’s exciting to support young talent like Nora.”

Future Radio’s Radio Show
Experiences give people the chance to get behind the mic, learn the ropes of
broadcasting, and discover the buzz of being on air – all in a fun and
supportive environment.
