BC(M) Industry Talks: Elizabeth McCarthy

B.Comm(Media) Industry Talks is a webinar series for students in RMIT’s Bachelor of Communication (Media) program. This talk was recorded live on Friday 28 August 2020.

THE CHANGING FACE OF RADIO with ELIZABETH MCCARTHY

Radio is one of the so-called ‘legacy’ media, yet it seems to constantly be with us. Is there something inherent in this platform that is just eternally relevant? Or is it a matter of people constantly working to adapt and reinvent?

We talk with our guest today about just such things, as well as how to get a foot in the door if you find radio or audio media calling your name.

Our guest is ELIZABETH MCCARTHY, Talks Producer at 3RRRFM Melbourne, as well as member of the B.Comm(Media) Industry Advisory Committee and graduate of the program!

The “Room With A View Media” studio was hard-hit by COVID-19, given they had planned to produce the long-running 3RRR show of the same name as part of their studies into radio production and programming. Once 3RRR suspended in-studio activity, the studio was left in the lurch.

However, some quick thinking and hard work by studio leader Heather Jarvis and the students involved has led to the Conversations in Isolation podcast, now available on all podcasting platforms.

The podcast features in with lawyers, musicians, fellow students and more on how they’re keeping busy and spending their time during lockdown.
