Radio prog critique, Mayelle (08-0026)

Wambui brings various guests who tackle spiritual issues from listeners. These are mainly pastors and bible teachers. Once in a while, experts in other fields outside spiritual circles come on board to handle issues in the relevant fields. One such is a show dedicated to a gynecologist once a month to handle productive health issues; there is one also dedicated to a lawyer to handle legal matters.The show is very enlightening to a Christian in knowing how to relate some life’s issues with the bible. The expert shows are also really educative.Meanwhile on the interview on 27/03/2010 Owen Bennett Jones talked to Nir Barkat, Mayor of Jerusalem an internet entrepreneur who became Mayor of Jerusalem a year ago on how he thinks he can bring his business skills to bear on the challenges facing the city.He said he wants Jerusalem to reach its potential with more tourism and more facilities for its growing population.But he also wants to make it the undivided capital of the Jewish people under Jewish sovereignty. Owen grilled him about this particularly on the planned Jewish settlements. I liked the whole interview though I thought at one point that Owen was being too hard on the mayor.


It is 08:40pm now and I am loving the good Lord for enabling me to post the proposal and my programme critique. This has been real divine intervention on my side and I appreciate my God for this. I'm off to cook me something now after accomplishing my mission for today-hurray!! and look forward to a great night and a good morning. Have a blessed holy week yall and be good-as always......XOXOXO

Radio Cririque, Mayelle (08-0026)

My radio Programme critiqueProgrammes: Praise Junction on Hope FM and The Interview on BBC World service.Praise JunctionThis programme airs every weekday from 10:00am to 02:00pm on Hope FM. It is presented by Wambui Mburu, a Daystar alumni. Wambui is warm as she deals with real life issues on her show. She interviews personalities who’ve been there and came through successfully. In the latter part of the show she makes your lunch hour worth while with soothing worship music. Among some of the prominent personalities she has featured on her show are Mrs. Rebecca Ng'ang'a (Daystar University), Mrs. JAne Awiti (DAystar University), and Eda Adoi.

The InterviewThis is a half-hour interview with interesting and prominent people from around the world with a great range of interests and opinions. It is presented by Owen Bennet-Jones and sometime Carrie Gracie. Each week, one person is put under the spot light by either Owen or Carrie, they explore topical issues, personal motivation and interviewee's hopes and fears. Some prominent people who have been featured on this programme are, entrepreneur/philanthropist Bill Gates, Abdullah Abdullah-Afghanistan opposition leader and nobel prize winner Wangari Maathai.


The genre of these programmes is basically Interview mostly profiles. The style of presentation of both shows is largely informal and conversational. For instance, Wambui is warm and empathetic towards her guests and often laughs and chats with them. Owen on The Iterview is also conversational with his guests and shares in the good and bad moments. However, unlike the Praise Junction interviews, Owen Bennet-Jones sometimes gets tough on his guests, he becomes searching and combative when necessary on the show.


I had a hard time making up my mind on the local programme to be compared with a similar one on the BBC. I am an ardent fan of Wambui's programme and I like Owen's interviewing tactics generally from this and other programmes but I thought the two programmes can not be put together; Wambui is so calm and gentle to think she can be compared to tough guy-Owen. But when I checked my notes on interviewing, I realized I was doing the wrong thing comparing them that way and if I continued that way, I would still be wondering which programmes to put together for this assignment. Yes, the notes clearly stated that the aim of an interview is to provide in the interviewee's own words, facts, opinions or reasons on a particular topic so that the listener can form a conclusion as to the validity of what he or she is saying


Now some differences between the two programmes:Praise Junction features solely religious personalities(born-again Christians)and focuses on mainly social and spiritual matters unlike The Interview which cuts across cultures and issues as long as the people are significant in their communities and or world wide and it talks about everything from politics to religion and all depending on the interviewee's background story and experiences.Praise Junction is more of a sequence allowing for other spots to be aired with in the main show. For instance, news updates and commercial breaks are brought in often-the other day for example, Wambui broke into the programme to give some breaking news about some strike somewhere along Ngong road. We don't hear this on The Interview at all, it is a one-off programme. This could be due to the limited time of the show, but then it could mostlikely be the general style/format of the programme.Musical breaks are frequent in Praise Junction, as the interview goes on which is not the case with BBC's The interview.More so, listener involvement is catered for in the Praise JUnction via text messages, people are allowed to comment, question and ask for prayer requests during the show, where as the Interview on BBC is just between the host and guest.I find these differences as what make these programmes unique and interesting. Just imagine all interview programmes on radio sounding almost alike... It has also got to do with the overall style/format, vision and mission of th e station. This is the beauty of radio broadcast!

On originality and impartiality:After listening for all these weeks and more, I have come to conclude that both Praise Junction and The Interview are interview programmes that encompass all the three major types of interviews we saw in class-informational (they impart the listener with information), interpretive (both Wambui and Owen/Carrie sometimes supply the facts and ask the interviewee to either comment on or explain them, emotional (both provide an insight into the interviewee's state of mind so that the listener may better understand what is involved in human terms eg interviewee's motivation, challenges, and fears in life).So, what about originality and impartiality in these shows?Both shows are original according to me. Wambui's programme is outstanding, has its own style and tone which has drawn great numbers of listeners over time. No other show in Kenya or else where I have been sounds like hers and I understand the idea for this programme came straight from her. No wonder she exhibits so much passion and love for it that we can hear over the air waves. The Interview on BBC though like a number of interview programmes on Western radio and television programmes still has originality in it. Owen Bennet-Jones has his own authoritative yet relaxing style of interviewing that makes his show rather different from the others, the fact that it is about this one guest and his or her life experiences liked to social, economic, political, and cultural issues is unique to this show alone (as far as I know).Although impartiality is key for broadcast and other journalists world wide, I guess there's exception when it comes to journalists already aligned/affiliated to particular partisan media houses especially religious and political houses. With this said, there is no need to mention that Wambui Mburu's opinions and conclusions totally lie on one side-in line with born-again Christian morals where as Owen and Carrie try as much as possible to remain impartial at all times-its called journalism ethics. But these ethics are relative depending on where and when and by whom.

Muchanganyiko maalum prog proposal

Objectives of the ProgrammeWe would mainly want to inform, educate and entertain the Daystar community and Shine Fm audience on a wide range of topical issues bound with in the university’s vision and mission. We believe a magazine programme would best suit this objective since it allows for various topic segments which brings out edutainment in one package.We also want to produce this show so as to cater for the various communities that exist within Shine FM’s listenership. For instance what might appeal to students may not appeal to a famer in rural Machakos, on-campus affairs versus off-campus affairs. These might be briefly pointed out in news bulletins but are often too brief. Our programme will fill this gap.Mchanganyiko Maalum will capture current affairs on campus and bring to students’ attention issues of concern. More so, this show aims at producing features about the students and the university at large in our own voices segment bring them fresh ideas and news. MethodologyWe hope to make this programme up to the standards of Shine FM through extensive research on issues to be handled, interviews with prominent members of the community, live coverage of events on and off campus.

We will listen to and observe issues and ideas, maintaining consistency in the ‘flavour’ of the programme, and seeking professional advice from those concerned. We also intend to carry our listener surveys after few months of launching the programme so as to gage it’s rating among the listeners.SummaryMchanganyiko Maalum is a Programme idea that came as a result of deep thought, observation and inspiration from the class activities as well as lectures. It also sprung from the fact that Shine Fm currently has very few magazine programmes. We would like through this programme to reach out to the entire Daystar community to help create positive change in their lives as well as ours. This show will not only educate but it will also entertain while spiritually nourishing both the producers’ and listeners’ lives.

Proposal for a Magazine Programme on 103.1 Shine FMIntroduction As we draw towards the end of the January 2010 semester and the end of the Course COM361 (Audio Production), we strongly feel an urge to put into practice and use what we learnt and experienced in this course. We are overwhelmed with knowledge and enthusiasm in the area of audio production as a result of this course and would therefore like to use the same knowledge to positively impact other people’s lives. We believe Shine FM, Daystar’s student radio would be the best ground to start our journey into the world of servant leadership as regards the media and Christianity. We hereby propose a Magazine Programme to be aired on the student’s radio.Name, Presenters, Target Audience and Content of the Magazine ProgrammeOur proposed name for this programme is Mchanganyiko Maalum, Swahili words meaning ‘great mix’. The reason as to why we chose this name is because it is first of all catchy and unique, it’s meaning is significant to the genre of the programme, that is, a magazine programme is basically a ‘mixture’ of various contents.The presenters of the show will be the three of us (Hellen, Caleb and Victor) who will also be the producers of the show. However with time, we hope to train and mentor other students from the next COM361 class who will take over after us.

Pendekezo la Kipindi cha “Somafuraju”
Wahusika: Christine Kasiva
Mashirima Kapombe
Portia Opondo

Pendekezo hili ni kulingana na mradi wa mwisho, katika somo la “COM 361A: Audio Production”. Tukizingatia haya, tumekubaliana kufanya kazi kama kikundi cha watu watatu:

Produsa: Portia Opondo.
Mhariri: Mashirima Kapombe.
Muandishi: Christine Kasiva.

Kipindi chetu kinaitwa “SOMAFURAJU”. Neno tulilotunga kutokana na malengo makuu ya kipindi:

Ku-somesha
Ku-furahisha
Ku-julisha

Yaliyomo katika kipindi hiki yatagawanywa katika vipande vinne:

Mambo ya sasa: Hapa tutazingatia mambo yanayotokea katika chuo kama siasa na athari zake kwa mwanafunzi wa chuo kikuu cha Daystar. Tutakuwa na mahojiano ambapo tutawahusisha wanachama wa DUSA (Serikali ya wanafunzi) na wanahabari wa Shine na Involvement kupata maoni yao.
Mitindo na utalii: Hapa tutagusia mitindo ya mavazi, michezo inayomfurahisha mwanafunzi sana katika msimu huu na sehemu za kwenda kupumzika wakati wa likizo fupi au wikendi.
Dondoo: Sehemu hii itashughulikia hadithi za kuchekesha na uvumi/udaku unaoendelea humu chuoni.
Burudani: Msikilizaji atapata kujulishwa visa vinavyotarajiwa kutendeka humu chuoni na pia nje ya chuo.

Manufaa ya “Somafuraju” kwa stesheni ya Shine FM
Kwa kuwa ni kipindi kipya, kitaongezea vipindi katika orodha iliyoko.
Kipindi hiki kitatosheleza mahitaji ya msikilizaji (mwanafunzi wa Daystar), kwa kumsomesha, kumfurahisha na kumjulisha. Aidha kwa njia hii, kitafikia malengo ya stesheni yenyewe.
Kipindi kimejaa dhana mpya, ambazo zitaongezea katika tofauti za vipindi vya Shine.


Manufaa kwa wanakikundi
Itatupatia fursa ya kutumia mafunzo tuliyopata darasani kufanya kazi yenyewe.
Itatuwezesha kupata kionjo cha vile kazi inavyofanywa na watangazaji wengine katika stesheni zengine.
Kwa kuwa ni kipindi cha Kiswahili, kitatuwezesha kunadhifisha msamiati wetu na uzungumzaji wa lugha yenyewe.
Mradi huu utaongezea katika maktaba zetu za kazi tulizofanya tukiwa bado chuoni.
