Biz Buzz is a radio show featuring business which goes out on the air every week day from 2:00 pm to 3:30. It is usually presented by me Jean Wolfe on a Friday. We have an excellent team of presenters who know and love business and who interview interesting guests.
In the Marlow Bucks area you can listen in on 97.5 FM or through the internet from elsewhere in Buckinghamshire, the UKand anywhere in the world. It is a community radio station spearheaded by Tim Ashburner using volunteers. So as a presenter you have to handle the technology.
My second programme was all about using video.
Guests in the studio were Jay Blake a local videographer and Sarah Liveing who was looking for some tips on using video in her business.
Video has become so much easier to create in recent years as the technology has developed, that the previous financial barriers no longer apply. Additionally You Tube has grown massively in popularity and videos are viewed millions of times. You Tube which is owned by Google is now used as a search engine in its own right.
Jay advised that recent iphones and new equipment is just as powerful as larger more professional equipment. The major drawback of doing it yourself is in getting the sound and the sound balance right, and the limitations of doing a piece to camera rather than having cameras filming from different angles. Jay’s company Icthus Video films business products and processes and helps to put business owners at their ease when in front of the camera.
Sarah Liveing had recently climbed to the top of Kilimanjairo and did indeed take video of herself and her companions at the summit. She is planning on using video of herself when walking outdoors, and we discussed the importance of having a suitable supporter to hold the camera.
Sarah’s business is Walking for Weightloss and she helps people take the first steps towards losing weight simply by walking. Unlike the regular payments for a gym, walking is free and virtually no equipment is needed. Sarah is herself an inspiration as she lost 8 stone simply by walking and has helped hundreds of people walk their way to a better healthier life.
We had a good conversation also about the beauty of the view from the top of the world after the exhausting climb up Kilimanjairo…and the peace gained from getting away from it all for a while.
