WEDLOCKED RMR 89.7 FM

"Wedlocked, RMR 89.7 FM", the jingle echoes in my ears while I sleep. The hum of the studio lights is the current anthem to my life. Finally the week is drawing near where we will get to hear our weeks of sweat and microphones be broadcast on RMR, our campus radio.

As part of our JMS 2 semester we have had to produce a full half hour radio slot based on the series, "Under Construction" which tackles the experiences (good or bad) faced by Rhodes students and the Grahamstown community as well as the issues which arise from these experiences in attempts to defy stereotypes and break taboo's. We have hunted high and low for people to interview, got them over the mic-shy stages and then after hours of transcribing each interview we finally managed (with what energy I don't know) to edit the 15 minute interviews into a three minute piece for the listener.

The above poster is the one I designed for our series based on the concept of "demolishing the norm and building the reality". The one below is the individual poster designed by Stef, our other group marketer.

Our group is the 'Wedlocked' team and for the past couple of weeks we have spent hours together perfecting the sound quality of our pieces and rehersing our anchoring styles (A big well done to Alex who has done such a fantastic job). Our show investigates the various aspects of marriage in the different religions which we find on campus. We even went as far as to uncover the development of a new religion on campus.... if you are interested in finding out more listen to our show on Monday 1 June at 10 AM. After all this work, it's bound to be great.
