Today, students in Radio Club at Project Destiny got to see what it takes to run a radio program. Everyone got a chance to sit in the “DJ chair” and run the mixing board. We listened to CDs, chose music from the mp3 library and interviewed each other. As you can see from the photos, a lot of fun was had. We even learned about designing a studio and the materials used to make a room sound proof and radio friendly!
