1. How can a producer best support the success of a talk radio show?
2. My third answer to my EQ is to ensure the voice and clarity of my own voice or the speaker/host's voice.
3. a) From my mentorship, I've learned that technology can only do so much, and the speaker has to make sure they're not too quiet or too loud, as well as making sure that they're also using the audio equipment to the best of their ability.
b) Sometimes, technology can go wrong, so it's up to the speaker to work with a loud, but clear voice in the case that technology needs to be replaced for a short amount of time. With my mentorship, there was a time where the microphone would go in and out in volume, so as a producer I had to turn down the sound temporarily while someone on stage quickly set up a new microphone.
c) Clarity is also just as important, because of the bible lessons given at my mentorship. Speakers always have to make sure they give clear directions when quoting scripture, as well as being able to communicate their main ideas and lesson to people. The audience should be able to clearly understand the speaker from all parts of the church.
4. My mentorship was my main source of my third answer. My mentor has shown me the effect a speaker or a host can have on a podcast's audio quality. He also showed me the effect a speaker can have on an audience, if he or she communicates her ideas well, with a loud and clear voice.
5. I plan on studying and going more in-depth with sound mixing, because it plays a major role in editing our shows.

Blog 5b: Science Fair Proposal
1. Talk Radio Production
2. Only older audiences listen to talk radio, whereas younger audiences stick to music formats.
<Marquez, Mathew. "3rd Interview." Personal interview. 6 Feb. 2013.>
3. If a person is 24 and over, then the likelihood that they listen to talk radio is higher.
4. I'll be conducting my experiment by gathering my data from major databases like Arbitron, which is a media and marketing research firm that specializes in the radio industry. After I gather my data, I'll analyze it to find any actual correlation between ages and formats in listeners nationwide. I could also conduct some surveys of my own in my community to find more data on listeners and their habits when it comes to Radio.

Blog 16: 2-Hour Meeting Answer #2
1. How can a producer best support the success of a talk radio show?
2. My second answer to my EQ is to provide high quality sound and transmission of the talk radio show.
3. To support the high quality standards of a talk radio show is to:
a.) To ensure that the show's sound output is quality sound, with no glitches, muffled voices or music, and everyone who's speaking or performing sounds like they are in harmony.
b.) Equipment has to constantly be monitored and maintained to avoid any issues such as going mute during a show, losing visual for a live webcast, not fully recording shows for archiving/sales, and so on.
c.) Any editing done is to enhance the talk show and to omit any mistakes on the part of the host, or sometimes even the producer. Editing is supposed to fix any minor issues. Editing should never change to where the main point of the story or program is completely lost.
4. Source 29a from my working bibliography
5. I plan to continue my study of answer 2 by working with the sound equipment at my mentorship, as well as conduct sound checks and work with the equipment on stage before services.

Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Plan Approval
1. I plan on starting the school's Radio Club again and producing each of the members radio shows. To produce their shows would mean to work with each "DJ" or each team of DJ's and help them produce their content by coming up with creative ideas that can be used in their own shows. In addition to that, I would also facilitate the group's overall shows and keep constant themes throughout the time being.
2. I'd be giving up my own time throughout the week to organize and conduct club meetings. I would also meet up with the DJ or DJ's in a one-on-one meeting to discuss production throughout the week so that they can get more involved with listeners and learn about great ways to come up with content for their shows. I would also self produce my own shows under the supervision of the teacher adviser, as well as receive assistance with producing my talk show. By using this as my IC, I would boost school spirit and morale. I'd keep track of time with a printed log with daily or weekly signatures to keep track of my hours.
3. By using what I've learned from my previous IC, I will be able to find more effective ways of producing a radio show that is successful, which is defined as what would bring in more listeners and what would entertain people more through an audio-only media.

Blog 14: Independent Component 1
LITERAL
1. I, Alfonso Corona, affirms that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
2. My mentorship at Calvary Chapel Montebello
<Marquez, Mathew. "Second Interview With Radio." Personal interview. 17 Jan. 2013.>
3. Top-Right Link under "Mentorship Hours", but here's the link.
4. I was a live webcast producer for 32 hours, 15 minutes (spanned over a few weeks) at Calvary Chapel's On The Level Multimedia ministry. I watched and worked with the sound being broadcast over the internet feed which the church uses to reach people who may not be able to attend in person.
INTERPRETIVE
1. My work has greatly benefited my project in many ways. It's because I was able to conduct an actual live broadcast, I learned about what goes into being ready. It helped a lot because radio production does involve a lot of technology, and how you're expected to prepare that technology beforehand. My work does show 30 hours of work because of the quality in each of our live webcasts and podcasts from the past few weeks. People are constantly ordering the CD's and DVD's of the recorded material I was able to make with my mentor. I'm also able to say that I can serve my congregation to the best of my ability.
APPLIED
1. My component helped me understand my foundation because of the work that goes into the technical aspect of my project, which is a major part of radio in general. I also learned about what kinds of sound mixing techniques are great for creating an entertaining radio show. With my mentor, I've also learned how to broadcast live shows, while still maintaining the quality of the sound and of the performance in general. One example being this past Wednesday, where I had to find a way to make the worship band sound less muffled due to a faulty speaker and a connection to the mixer. I had mix the sound in a way where even though it sounds quieter, it still sounds a lot more clear.
Due to liability issues, I'm not able to actually post pictures of our production office, but I do have other pictures of the church:
