Another normal pre-ACRA week in every Radio Production Studio around Australia has passed.
The frantic rush to ensure your production department has every entry fully produced and edited in readiness for submission. “ACRA entries up the wahzoo” was a collective cry from the production people buried in their sound padded 4 walls.
I’m an optimist by trade. But this past week has me upset with the ridiculous restraints CRA have put on the entry process for many categories.
Let me explain …

He said, “Formal education will make you a living, SELF EDUCATION will make you a fortune.”
The best way to become better in radio production is to LISTEN.

In the early 90's after working within the audio department of a large television company, I became excited after realising where audio within radio could be headed. Back then TV had always been great with pictures, but had lacked the pizazz and 'kick' that people like Jeff Thomas and Phil Lentz were creating within radio.

Today, Daryl Missen chats with legendary radio producer Brian Newington who has worked with many of the great talent at many of the great radio stations over his 50+ year career :-

Tell us the Brian Newington story.

I have an incredible amount of respect for David Post. For many years he has inspired me with his audio editing creativity.
However it's his 'discipline' and 'attention to detail' that sets him out in front of the pack of my top radio production guys on the planet.
Postie now resides as Senior audio pro and breakfast producer for Jonesy & Amanda at WSFM, but as you read through his daily 'to-do-list' you quickly see that his role is broad and full of creative opportunity to shine.
Thanks so much Postman for taking the time and sharing an insight into 'The Day in the Life of a Radio Production Pro'.
