Disc Jockey interview

I went and interviewed Joe Sanchez who was the program director at Lite 97.5 in Martinsburg. The reason why I decided to interview him was becuase I work part time with the station,  and I knew that he would be the best person to interview since he has been in radio for 20 years. One of the things that he said that interested me was that for radio to survive it needs to become more vocal in the community, which is true becuase radio does not get many listeners now becuase mostly people listen to either CDs or Ipods today.

Ideas for podcasts

For my five podcasts I have found five key ideas that could incorporate the history of radio, the first one will be the begining and how it started. The second one will be the way that radio was effected by televsion. The third one will be about the different rules of radio. The fourth will be the differnt changes that radio has gone through will satalite raido and internet radio. The final one will be the future of radio and I am planning on interviewing a disck jockey as well.

Capstone Idea

For my senior capstone I decieded to do five differnt podcasts that explors the history of radio from the begining all the way to the present. This will be interesting for me becuause I am thinking about going into radio after I graduate from Shepherd.
