Tips Ep. 1 Production & Time Management
It's @globocop here on behalf of the station.
As many of you have discovered, we have fantastic live shows on the station, ranging from 3 Hours of Freeze Peach talk with @r0nd0n to Emotion Integration teachings with @uniwwhisp and Hacking Mental Performance with @wipgirl. And coming soon is The @roxane Show in French. Many more DJs are being on-boarded and shows are newly produced daily.
Still, we currently broadcast live shows that cover only about 30% of our air time. We are looking for talented Steemian MSP members who would like to have their own regular weekly 2-3 hour show on MSP-Waves.
Producing a show and delivering it professionally could seem like a daunting task. You may know that I am hosting/co-hosting three weekly shows on MSP-Waves.
It's been a steep learning curve - but things have gotten easier over time. My self confidence has grown with better and more efficient preparation.
Therefore, I thought it might be helpful for those preparing a new show now and for those not even yet thinking about applying for their own show, to share some of my experiences.
It is a good idea to produce the show with a trusted friend - but doing it alone is also working well. The secret to quality programming lies in preparation and knowledge and passion on the subject at hand. Everything else comes rather easy.
The way I prepare my shows is to divide my air-time into segments. It is easier to fill 15 minutes than 120.
Good planning gives confidence. In time and with experience, less detailed segment planning is necessary, giving room for natural talk and improvisation.
It is never a good idea to script every word you will utter during your show. What if the notes are suddenly less relevant because of an incident during a show, breaking news or your interactive audience stirring the subjects into different territory?
Bullet points, facts, numbers, train of thought are the way to do it. It gives a solid guide through your show while at the same time keeping you flexible.
 I am using hackmd.io to prep my notes and using them on a tablet during the show, with all resources/links, etc, added.
Below is a particularly detailed example of an actual show notes file I shared with @creatr, as he was a guest on my Sunday show: God-Waves.

It goes down smoothly for my beloved,
gliding over lips and teeth."

As we can see, I added the links to the file so that I could easily refer to them or share them during the show.
Post-Production involves cutting any unwanted sections out of the show recording and submitting it to @r0nd0n for encore replays.
It also helps to listen to ones' own show afterward and note any odd moments, stutters or fillers. Listening to our own show is like looking in a mirror, and correcting unwanted looks, putting on that smile and brush that cat hair off the shoulder for an even more polished delivery next time.
I hope you found these personal production tips useful? Please let me know in the comments, and upvote and resteem this post to support MS-Waves.
Next time, I will talk about actual Production time, speaking on the air and how to overcome stage fright and reduce filler words and phrases.
If you would like to become a show-host on MSP-Waves, please contact me on MSP Discord. I look forward to having a chat to discuss your show idea.
Thanks everyone for reading. Chris on behalf of your MSP-Waves operations team.
