Tips for Radio Show Content Don’t let “funny stuff” get in the way of your content. Sometimes people get too goofy and things don’t make sense. Content of any short commercial must be come from LESSON you’ve been assigned to. Shouldn’t have more than 1-2 “types” of segments. (ex. 1 interview, 1 field report, etc. rather than 3 interviews) Be specific with your content. Instead of saying: Lots of jobs, say lots of jobs like pottery, artisans, farmers. Use Social Studies content words: Instead of saying, “His code gives justice for people”, say, “Hammarabi’s Code gives justice for men, women and even kids. Record in a quiet spot. No background noise! Check your sound levels. Too close and your voice is scratchy, too far away and your voice sounds like you’re in a tunnel. Also, it’s critical that you project your voice, annunciate and have expression. Your voice is everything and if it’s monotone or dull, your podcast will be as well.
