Humbug Radio - Presenters (Unpaid)
Humbug Radio is a new Internet station aimed squarely at the 50+ demographic. We are quirky, irreverent, funny and, hopefully, wise. We play great music from the 60s-Noughties, but we're not just a music station, so regular DJs need not apply. Instead, we're looking for people with life experience, stories to tell, fluency and, above all, a cracking sense of humour. We have weekday and weekend slots available. Experience with voice tracking on Myriad would be helpful.
Our current roster is comprised largely of white males so we are very interested in people who don't fit this template, in particular mature presenters, male and female, with diverse and unusual backgrounds.
This year we’re piloting a new programme to support our students from disadvantaged and under-represented backgrounds and we need graduates to help.
We’re on the look out for graduates who have some shared experiences with these students to act as coaches and give them some support.
Coaches will be paid for their time.
