BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra Interns

Find out what goes on behind the scenes at Radio 1 and 1Xtra - as told by our interns.
I had so much fun working on the early breakfast show with Dev and Producer Cara. Dev’s probably one of the only people I can think of that’s about as random as me and he’s just a coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool guy. I made two trails for the show as well, they were played today on air and hey they might become a regular thing on the show so I’ll always be there in spirit!!!
P.S. This is now my work desktop picture.

Early Morning Breakfast With DEV

Right, Kae here.

Soooooo I had the privelage of waking up at 3am so I could work on the Early Breakfast show with Dev.

Do I regret it? No, not really, I mean yeah I was groggy but after a few green teas I was fine (sort of).

Dev and producer Cara made me feel right at home. It’s amazing how many people are actually awake at that time!!

Now what a better way to start the morning then Dev setting me a challenge?! Apparently he thinks as interns we’re here to take his job (I’m not, don’t know about the others though :P) so if you’re familiar with his show he has a trail where listeners have called and say why they like Dev (or don’t like him) and it’s really short and funny and it’s played at the beginning of the show. So Live on Air after letting me introduce myself Dev says he wants me to make a trail and he wants listeners to text in if they want to be on the trail!!

Soooo how did I do? Well I called some lovely listeners and got their opinions and I edited it all…but IF you want to know how it all sounds, tune in to early morning breakfast with Dev from 4-6:30am and you’ll hear what it sounds like and whether Dev likes it or not…

To top it all off as I was editing Grimmy came into the offices with the headcam on! I looked really tired so I won’t be showing you the screen grabs of that BUT if you’re wondering what I look like at 3 in the morning…  here you go (Be nice, I’m still looking about 75% awake).

I’m off to catch some zzzz’s though.

See ya “ya cheeky lil parsnips”

Kae.

SARAH COX, TREV, TWIN and SCOTT in action- the last one is how things look from the presenter side!

Us making a cuppa for Princess Sarah-Jane……. This is a very mis-leading photo, she’s the nicest lady ever!!

She made us play “have you ever”.. Pete confessed to taking all his clothes off after prom, Me to fan-girling DJs, Mo to failing what he admitted was a ‘very hard to fail BTEC’ and Kae……. told Sarah Jane that he fancied her!!
