We really enjoyed our trip to Sunny Govan Radio Station. When we got off the subway we saw the Mary Barbour Sculpture. Mary was an activist who fought for people’s rights. When we got to the station we met Heather who started the station and who still runs it. We also met radio presenters Jim and Steg. Jim split us into 2 groups.
1 group created and planned slogans to help promote Sunny G. We learned to write something catchy to get listeners attention and get them interested. We also learned how to use the studio equipment like microphones, the computer and the mixing desk.
Steg got a group of us to sing Baby Shark live on air. It was great fun even though our singing wasn’t very good. We also got to introduce songs and read out dedications to listeners
