Or vote Charlie!?!?
Are you going to vote grimmy???!
Last week was another mad one.
Started off on Monday & Tuesday on Alice & Phils team!
Monday, we went around Brick Lane & Shoreditch filming our cover version of Macklemore - Thrift Shop. This was for Dan & Phils challenge which airs tonight, probably right now.
I was an extra (wearing loads of fur) and also on the cameras. Basically just copying whatever Moses was doing as he’s the guy when it comes to filming! It was a wicked day and I felt like I actually made a difference towards this video as the team especially Phil Stocker (producer) were more than happy for me to do my own thing and voice my opinion. Looking forward to seeing the final thing later tonight.
In the studio on Tuesday was a lovely lady by the name of Laura Mvula. I’ve been super lucky so far as her & Sam Smith are my favourite artists at the moment and I’ve somehow managed to be on shows with both of them as guests. It was interesting to see how they prepared towards interviewing musicians and how they approach a show. So far, every team plays it completely different to the next. One thing I have learnt is how much of a big job the producer has. The presenters essentially just voice the show that the producer has created.
The dynamic of teams is another thing I look at while spending time with them. Zane Lowe was Thursday & Friday for me. I came into the office Thursday very excited as nearly everybody I’ve met in the building has said how incredible Zane & his team are.
They definitely didn’t disappoint.
James & Sam are the team behind the show and they were both ridiculously organised. I mean, overly organised. Every little detail was prepared towards the show.
I scheduled the music for the show, edited an interview for the Hottest Record then helped with the intensive music notes Zane requires to perfect his delivery of the show.
When Zane arrived we had a wicked chat in his studio where he gave me some brilliant advice as well as the basic formula to his show. “You let the bands tell the fans why to listen & you…” the rest I’m probably not allowed to say. But yeah, it made loads of sense.
Zane gave me advice on how to use what I’ve gained here to go on to better things in the next few months. Advice that inspired me to work harder towards my goal when my time here is up.
The show itself was only live for an hour where the Dave Grohl interview was a pre record so I didn’t “see the full effect.” The three guys operate so well in the studio wether its editing & looping beds live in the show to updating the schedule to whatever else needs doing.
Then on Friday, I prepared the script for Huw Stephens covering show on Monday, as well as scheduled all the music for the next week ahead. (told you they were organised)
The interns came back together to film the Charlie Sloth response to Toddla T which will go online tomorrow along with Grimmys fighting talk.
Look out for those as our show is WEDNESDAY. Going to be great fun. You’re in for a proper treat, promise.
@pete_intern
TODDLA T is going for it! What happened on new years eve with him and Charlie?!
Tune in from 7pm ON Wednesday!
THE INTERN TAKEOVER: PREPERATIONS
1 WEEK TO GO AND PREPS ARE UNDER FULL SWING!
There is a lot to pull off in a week, but we have every confidence that we will!
Aled and Leanne have been so great at working with us to put our big ideas into reality- something that 4 creative but new-to-the-business kids forget to do sometimes!
Just out of a brain storm session. I have found that these work in a great way- one huge burst of super fast scribbling, everyone getting louder and more excited, ideas churning and churning and then………… crash. They are SO productive and so simple to do, and don’t take long cause you crash so quickly, your brain goes into overdrive!
We are splitting our show into 3 sections, 45mins, 30mins then 45mins. The middle is taken care off. Trust me!! What we have been working on today is filling the first and last sections. As our presenters are such wicked personalities and goes with out saying professionals, it would be very unnecessary for us to script for them- almost patronising to these legends! (If you didn’t catch our launch trail this morning, im talking about Grimmy, Toddla T and Charlie Sloth!!!)
So, what we are going to do instead is give them a prompt list with suggestions from: how to sabbotage their opponents shows and tamper the flawless musical rep of these selectors, to letting us into whats going to come up in their fight for the title!! We may even tip off a few plans of a few djs to the others… to throw ultimate fuel on the fire!
We are so excited, lock in 27/02/13 7-9pm and back your dj!!!

KAE: THE INTERN TAKEOVER, THE FUTURE OF RADIO. THE TRAIL
Now if you didn’t hear the trail go out this morning on the breakfast show at 7.45am here it is, a lot of work went into this and I was very proud with the outcome, we still had to re-do more of the voices to sound like normal people! lol!
Big thank you to Patrick who helped make the trail possible he edited it all and mixed it and it sounds amazing. The best trail that we could have hoped for aaaaaaaand it’s as amazing as the show will be.

KAE: CREATING A TRAIL
I was in charge of getting a trail ready for this show of ours. I enlisted the help of Patrick, who creates all the trails for R1 and 1xtra.
Script writing then getting others to look over it and about 500 re-drafts later I had a script that worked and everyone agreed with! As the interns we all recorded our bits, there’s just a few people left to record there’s which I’ll chase up tomorrow ;).
Patrick will then have it ready for you guys to HOPEFULLY hear on Thursday. Yezzzzzzzzzir.
Tomorrow I’ll be working with the Review show so be ready for me on your airwaves YEAAAAAAAAH.
(OH the vlogging will still take place when i’m not as tired as I am now)
Have a wonderful evening.

@Kae_Intern
Today is rather hectic! If you don’t know outside my work with the wonderful Beeb I’m a filmmaker and I have a film being screened at the BFI and I need to talk to a room full of hundreads of people about the craft!… That means me leaving in the middle of the day, it should be fine since I’m with the Visual department of Radio1/BBC 1xtra (The guys who make radio that bit better looking) so I’m hoping they understand :/
Anyway here is the first video I worked on with the Visual department!
@Moses_intern
Friday.
Sat in with Grimmys Breakfast show again, spent the morning burning CD’s for the Jen Long mix from texts and callers. Onto artist notes, ideas for Call or Delete guests and writing an honest review of what I thought of that mornings show.
Nick & the team were really welcoming and gave me things to do and invited me to the ‘Comic Relief’ meeting for the plans for that big show!
Rita Ora was in the Live Lounge and bought us all breakfast! Thats one for my CV right there…
We also recorded the Radio 1 attempt at the ‘Harlem Shake’
Spot me in the wig & binocular combination..

The afternoon ended with a really important meeting regarding our intern show! Got some amazing ideas & plans ready to come into action but really need to know what you lot, yes you want to hear/see/do during the show. Me & the other interns are essentially the same as you. I mean, a month ago I was at uni and working every weekend selling sofas…
We need to know what you want from this show. This is our chance to do stuff thats never been done on radio before so if you have any ideas please let us know via this blog or our twitter accounts (@ourname_intern)
Tomorrow, I work on Phil & Alice’s show for the next two days followed by the man himself Mr. Zane Lowe to close the week!
Anyway, going to have yet another nap.
@pete_intern
