Scope of the blog changes a bit, can be used between shows but this topic has come up before.
We don't know what visual radio is supposed to be. As discussed on Wild Show this Thursday. For Radio 1 it seems to be video. But the other aspect is that it exists as clips, variable length on YouTube and iPlayer. maybe other platforms as well. Maybe this is more significant, it just happens to be video.
It may need to be video to maintain interest as social media, now a very crowded scene.
So what we have been doing as sound clips on YouTube could be a limited project till we get cameras. The lighting tests have shown it is possible to light the Phonic FM studio, but expensive to rent and it gets too hot.
Even more so we will worry about the archive rather than the broadcast. The timing of the clip for later can vary. The Live Lounge ones do include interview so it is some form of radio but not in a fixed time format.
"Flipped Radio" could be like the flipped classroom. As I understand it the idea is for homework to cover listening to the content, then the time in class is for discussion. Actually I hear there are still many cases of phones being confiscated. Not sure the flipped classroom has much reality so far. Anyway, flipped radio is when the show as broadcast is a bit of a ramble out of which there may be two or three 5 -10 minute clips out of a two hour show that are worth adding to the archive. The audience has a choice of listening to the mess on FM or working out a sensible sequence of bits and pieces online. Before flipped radio the convention has been to pick out a sample of an interview for a small part of a broadcast. The other way round may make more sense for our sort of show.
Still worth listening to just in case we reach a conclusion rather than just going round in loops.
More on Tuesday.

Tech for radio, video etc link page
This is a quick post as too long for a tweet. The @wenotno show needs extending.
We have been to two BETT shows and talk as if we might buy something sometime. Phonic FM has a limited budget so this is more or less fantasy. So best thing may be to share info and wait for something similar to get closer.
Yesterday had an email from Chris Tomasini who I met at BETT 2016. As memory serves they have a range of video kit for the studio. The "radio" version is middle sort of spec but automated so there is a basic edit of two cameras depending on who is speaking. Very suitable for a radio station trying to add some web video.
I guess this has been updated but have not checked the links yet, ( 90 minutes to start of today's show )
I hope this email find you well,
please could you confirm to me by e-mail that you will visit the IBC Amsterdam in september Hall 12 / E56A ? We could meet there and i will show you our new products and new features
Feel free to call me
Best regards

the show is 9th - 13th in Amsterdam. suggest worth a look just to get an idea of what is possible. Even the big budget kit must have some sort of app to reach the mobile audience / contributors . You would think.

versions for
university campus
most schools
small conference centre
tiny basement FM studio

PS if somebody eventually buys some new studio kit, please invite @wenotno as guests or send us some mp3

starting post
This blog is to extend the We Don't Know show on Phonic FM. Mostly written by Will Pollard aka will789gb.
It is about Jonathan Mahy, my co host on the show. (@jonathanmahy) We don't know about R&B, especially recent. I claim I once thought I knew what it was but some time ago. Jon thinks most current pop is R&B essentially. Seems to work as a mix most of the time.
The irritation comes when we are outside the studio on a trip. To London for BETT for example. Jon is in a wheelchair and I have to push on occasions or reply to his phone calls. I sometimes like to wander off.
Also even in the studio because he has difficulty seeing in 3D he often moves away from the mic. He sees it ok but can't process. So things like that are ok at the time but they add up. When I have been a bit sharp in my language I explain it as the result of an accumulation of small irritations.
For some reason he thinks of this as an achievemnt, and a good blog title. So more later, mstly with time backwards.
