On reflection, here are the key things I learned from co-hosting the London City YDN business show. I hope you find these tips helpful if you ever get the chance to have a go. I recommend it. It’s fun!
- The music goes *really* quickly
- It’s really tempting to sing along
- Pressing the right buttons and sliders at the right time is surprisingly tricky
- Radio is a lot easier than video because you don’t need to dress up or do full hair and makeup
- You have to speak directly into the microphone, not turn to make eye contact with your co-host / guests while talking
- Headphones mess up your hair
- Don’t be distracted when the interviewer asks you a question then fiddles around setting up the next thing; just keep talking
- Stories are better than facts
