Nora Young and the over-caffeinated crew at Spark have put out a quirky little video about how to make a radio show.
If you’re looking for Radio 101, look elsewhere. This tongue-in-cheek production is Radio 001. (For instance, one line from the piece: “When you’re in the studio, say the words and phrases that you wrote down earlier into the microphone.”)
Be sure to watch for how they get the audio tape into the recorder. I’d been trying to figure that out for years now!

People still use faxes?
I understand this is a joke, and it was probably very fun for them to make. But personally I wish they would have played it straight and really shown me how to make a radio show. It would have been more interesting.
Ouimet,
This is EXACTLY how we make radio at Outfront!
(Except we haven’t figured out how to do the script thing….that would take writing skill.)
Make noises. Edit them into shape. Broadcast.
That’s how the pros do it!!!!
Nora is a very attractive woman. And I can tell by the way she looks at me that there’s a definite chemistry between us.
I enjoyed the part of the video that showed how much thought and effort goes into finding ways to kill time at the CBC.
These people are pros!
Ouimet, man you are becoming surly.
This piece answered every question I ever had about how radio is made. I still don’t know how Nora’s voice gets into the little speakers in my ears, but that’s another program.
