STAR
Events

-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Collab with the vinyl sale that sometimes appears: promote the event in return for a record to giveaway.
-
-
-
Other societies that have said they’re keen for collabs: Craft Beer and Cider, Inklight, Wildlife, Film, Photo, and Just So.
-
-
-
Invite King Creosote over for another gig, but livestream it.
-
-
Find a STAR alumnus working in the radio industry, and invite them back to give a talk.
-
-
Show social: white t-shirt pub crawl mixed with a scavenger hunt warm-up for Raisin, with a bar tab prize.
Promotion
Sabb announcements, such as Freshers’ Week acts, to be made on STAR.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Improve how shows are highlighted on our Facebook page, by streamlining the request process and increasing flexibility.
-
If there is a particularly significant one-off show, send everyone an email about it.
-
Create a promo video featuring Gorilla Joe, like this.
-
-
Promote others, not just ourselves.
-
-
-
If an artist is in Fife for Freshers’ Week or a nearby gig, invite them to an interview on STAR.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Return to our old slogan, “listen responsibly”.
Studio
Set up a permanent camera on the far wall, so that all shows have the option of livestreaming.
-
Look into making the podcasting computer automatically upload recordings of shows to a folder that can be accessed from home.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Give the computers access to Wikipedia, so Myriad can automatically add song info and pictures.
Give the computers access to Facebook and Twitter, so shows can promo directly.
Give the computers access to YouTube, so shows can livestream directly.
Make more detailed and accurate listener statistics available to show hosts within the Buzzbox computer.
-
-
-
Store podcasts for as long as possible, instead of deleting them after a week.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Shows
-
-
Take a picture of each show to use for the show information pages on the website, and to decorate the studio.
Encourage livestreaming performances from the studio, like on KEXP.
Make the station logo available in png format in the shows group, so that every show can use it in their promo material.
-
-
-
Properly build STAR alumni group, using sources like LinkedIn and old tweets.
Find something to fill the slots reserved for live lounges when there are no live lounges. Possibly radio plays, or one-off shows.
STAR occasionally receives emails relating to job positions in the media industry; these should really be shared with show hosts.
Committee
-
-
-
-
-
-
Open applications for Assistant Head of Tech and Assistant Head of Web in September, so that freshers can apply.
-
Make meeting minutes, reimbursement forms, and the task sheet more easily available.
Communication
-
-
-
-
-
Publicise that we can loan microphones and an audio interface, and provide training, so that anyone can record their own interviews, radio plays, vox pop, etc.
-
Website
-
Our website has an interactive schedule template. We should be using it instead of a screenshot of a timetable made in Excel.
-
-
-
-
Training
-
-
-
-
Ensure everyone on the committee is well-trained, so that they can help when passing by the studio.
-
-
Programming
If an experienced show asks to go on air early, let them.
Previous committees decided all shows have to go on air from the same date. I don’t see the point in stopping people. The point of STAR is to have fun.
Consider new show applications throughout the semester, if there are free slots on the schedule.
Previous committees have refused to allow this. I don’t see the point in stopping people. Again, the point of STAR is to have fun.
-
-
Let shows switch slots in the first week, if they have found a show willing to swap.
Other
Immediately remove the full stop from our Facebook page name, and change it to STAR’s actual name. It’s not “St. Andrews Student Radio” – that would be STASR.
-
-
-
Applications
-
A single show application form, instead of separate ones for new and returning shows.
