This collection covers everything from visual radio (not a contradiction in terms) through to discovering what it takes to put together large scale digital projects.
Whether this comes in the form of glanceable information or photos, webcams in the studio or live video streams of performances and events, there are exciting new opportunities for radio. "Visualised radio is so different from tv in that tv asks you to watch it, whereas visualised radio you can dip into."– Joe Harland To discuss these opportunities the BBC Academy's Jane Clancey is joined by Joe Harland who oversees visualising radio at BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra, Nigel Smith Interactive editor at BBC Radio 5 live and Guy Oldfield an audio visual producer also at 5 live.
In this episode we look at the differences between a digital team and a traditional broadcast team and the kind of skills and people you need to build successful digital products. "At the beginning, the most important thing is individuals that can understand what a user need is that isn't being answered by something else in the market." – Paul Bennun With presenter Simon Smith to discuss building the perfect digital production team are guests Paul Bennun, director of digital at Somethin' Else, Dan Heaf, digital director BBC Worldwide Ltd and Katherine Campbell, senior content producer of Radio 4's History of the World.
