ROOM WITH A VIEW: Y3: S1: WK6: It’s (radio) SHOW TIME! (Almost)

As you may well know if you’ve been keeping up with my riveting blog posts about my life at university, my Room With A View studio group are going to air on the 10th of April. Which is the Monday coming up! And guess what? Yours truly is hosting. Look at me go. This is a bit of a scary leap for me. I’ve been shying away from being recorded since I was blessed with the opportunity to watch my cringeworthy high school drama class attempt of playing a drunken Tom Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie. But, I guess this isn’t acting, so it’s okay. Plus, university has handed out plenty of presentation assessments which I have managed to plough through with relative ease when it came to it. Perhaps I am more relaxed with the comfort in having a couple of small white cue cards grasped in my sweaty hand? Likely the case.

Before I bore you with a tangent of my high school history where I was buried in a pile of anything Tennessee Williams or William Shakespeare wrote (and all of their adaptations), I should probably mention where we’re at on the preparedness scale. Yes, that’s a thing now. If 1 were the lowest and 10 were the highest, I would say we’re at about 8.5 right now. Success! We just need to finalise our running sheet over this weekend, Rose is ripping our songs onto CDs, Sammy and I need to do a run through of the outline of our script on morning of the show and then we’re good to go!
I’m glad I have Sammy as my hosting companion as she is relatively versed in radio hosting (through Syn shows), makes me feel comfortable as I feel she’d think pretty quickly if something messes up.

PS. Shakespeare invented the word ‘bubble,’ and that’s all I remember of his work. (I jest).
