ACB Radio Round Table

April 3, 2021

Community Calls, radio shows and podcasts: Are they the same, mutually exclusive? What are skills belonging to each? Why might a program be great for a Community call, and not necessarily be great for radio? Likewise, how might some radio skills not be as good for Community calls? We don’t have to go far to find wonderful qualities they all have in common. Let’s look at goals and skills of Community calls, radio shows and podcasts and some of the skills that are the same and/or different for each. Many thanks to all hosts, facilitators, content creators, broadcasters, streamers and producers. Join Rick, Jason, Jeff, Tyson, Debbie and Cindy for this lively discussion.
