Following successful projects in 2015 and 2017, PBS is proud to announce the return of the Collaborative Radio Project, a free training program that combines your creative ideas and a love of music, with the skills and training needed to produce a short radio story for broadcast.
The nine-week training offers weekly skill-based classes at PBS, an excursion to community radio stations in Melbourne, and one-on-one mentoring to see your new skills put into action to produce your own short radio story.
Students are then invited to co-ordinate the broadcast showcase of their works on All Our Stories and Homebrew.
The training will cover topics including: sound recording and editing, interviewing, scripting, sound design, broadcast techniques and introductory broadcast law.
Places in the course are limited. A priority is to support those who are underrepresented, misrepresented or excluded from media spaces. Community radio pursues principles of democracy, access and equity, especially for people and issues not adequately represented in other media. PBS 106.7FM aims to nurture, inspire and champion Melbourne’s diverse music community.
The training course will run at PBS on Thursday nights 6:30pm-8:30pm, July 5 to August 30.
Interested? Please fill out this application form and submit by 5pm Monday June 25.
