One for the aspiring #radio geeks as I& #39;ve spent an hour feeding back to demos. (1/2)
1. For all that is holy, please don& #39;t start your demo with a list of what& #39;s coming up
2. Don& #39;t tell me how long you& #39;re "with me through til" and before "XXXX" takes over.
3. Don& #39;t cut it so tightly that I can& #39;t work out what is happening.
4. Don& #39;t say this song needs no introduction (and then fully introduce it).
5. If you& #39;re reading station stuff, ad-lib around it and personalise it.
6. Best material always should come first!
Bonus added extra.
People say "thank you for joining me". I haven& #39;t joined you, I was here listening before you were here. I& #39;m continuing to invite you into my home/car etc. Only the best hosts would have people switch-on for their show & they& #39;re the ones who would never say this
