Broadcast Day

I wasn't sure what to expect from the speakers, but I really enjoyed watching the slideshow (once it finally began working!).

It was interesting to see how long the group had been formed and the places they've traveled. I also enjoyed the radio show broadcast simulation. I found it amusing, but I also had a faint idea of how the people in the 1920s (I believe) felt when radio was their only form of entertainment.

I especially loved the video that showed how radio shows and segments were recorded. I love the sound effects room; it was all really creative. It reminded me of the last time I visited Universal Studios and was able to watch how black-and-white video sound effects and vocals were recorded. It was essentially the same idea as the radio broadcasts.

One guest I remember particularly in the audience was Lloyd Lacuesta, because I remember seeing him broadcasting on (if I remember correctly) KRON 4 news.

Overall, it was a nice experience. I don't think I would want to work in the broadcast segment, but as many people stated, if you're planning on working the mass communications department, it's best to know a little about everything, because you may end up changing your career.
