So, that’s it. I’m just about to hand in The Juicebox Guide… I’ve learned so much since September about radio and the music industry and this project has made me feel confident about the area in which I would love to work in… Onwards and upwards from here.

Post show two

So, if you were listening (and I hope you were) show two went better than ever, I feel like me and Harrison corrected mistakes made in show one and trigged an even better discussion than expected  Which got me thinking... Could you imagine Juicebox as a brand of it's own? Taking it out of the context of music and into the context of any creative industry. So, 'The Juicebox Guide' to making a film... or writing a book. Or say you like the idea of it just being a music show. We could make it even more specialist. 'The Juicebox Guide' to Jazz, Reggae, Hip Hop - You get the picture, my producer brain is going crazy.

Show two was an absolute smash, links up soon!

[juiceboxguidealex-blog]

So, I'm researching 'sync' - That is basically how music gets on adverts... We have expert John Esplen explaining the ins and out's of 'sync' on the show on the 15th of April, but the best way I can put it is, do you think you'd of heard this song if it wasn't on this advert? 

[juiceboxguidealex-blog]

So were chatting to Young Kato all about the world of 'Sync' which has dramatically boosted there rise to fame. We'll be discussing this on the show on the 15th as we feel it's the best example of how a band can be scouted through a reality TV show with a huge audience... Take a look!

The Garage Live is ran by Chai Hobson from South Shields. Today we went there to talk to him about the effects of social media in the music industry and how he keeps up with it all and does it so successfully within his company North East Recording. The amount of interviews for this project is going to go through the roof!

Arctic Monkeys Package Idea

So, I’m sat editing packages and I have a brain wave, the Arctic monkeys were so influential to the industry cause they rise to fame was so different, I think they were one of many bands who did it this way… imagine if we could get this interview now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdXSlnZcyek

Today’s to do list, followed by some sums.
