Preparation for this introductory show: The group teacher, Geoff, gave each student a copy of a template script for the start and end of the show (the "intro" and "outro"), and a list of personal topics. Thanks to Ales for recording the intro and outro! The students took turns interviewing each other, responding without a script - spontaneously. Well done to all for managing so bravely in this first, a bit scary, episode.
This show was recorded in class, on group teacher, Geoff's, Apple MacBook Pro computer with the application Garageband. The Garageband jingle used is Pastel Slide Full. After editing in Garageband and Audacity (for noise removal and deletion of unnecessary silence), the audio volume was levelled using the program Levelator (www.gigavox.com/levelator), and the file was converted to MP3 format using Audacity. The photo was edited in Apple iPhoto and Adobe Fireworks.
This show was produced at the Bardwell Road Adult Centre, St Clare's, Oxford, UK.
