My first 3D Modelled car

Hi everyone and welcome to my new blog for my Work Experience time at Cambridge 105 FM.

So, I am Quintin Plane, an aspiring Radio DJ. I come from near Norwich, attending Thorpe St. Andrew High School. I am joining the Cambridge 105 FM team for the next two weeks, voluntary, helping around at your local Community Radio Station. However, I’ll get into that later on in the blog.

I am currently in my final year of GCSEs, studying all the major subjects, in addition to Food Technology, Media, Geography and finally German of my own choosing. The most favourite lesson to me is Media, not because of the amount of films that we watch (which we don’t do that often), but actually because of the general humour we have in lessons, including the teacher.

However, I’m not all for school. I do like my free time as well, spending it mainly on gaming. Games of racing, strategies, and simulations. Except, I don’t just play games, I make them. Not just website games, but proper fully developed games. At the moment, I am currently helping with another volunteer programme, in development of a full driving game that is based on a Free-roam large island.

So, why did I choose Cambridge 105 FM, even though I am from Norwich? If I went to a large commercial radio station, I would only be making coffee everyday. Cambridge 105 FM can provide me with a more hands on experience with radio production, and not hands-on experience of making coffee. But, what will I be doing with your Community Radio station over these two weeks?

Over the 2 weeks, I will be helping in with the 105 Drive team by writing some of the features. I will also be joining the News team of Cambridge 105 FM for a day, going out and interviewing some you on the streets of Cambridge on some of the local issues affecting you. I will also be taking over the desk on one day for 105 Drive, but don’t worry; Tim won’t be going anywhere, he will still be on the microphone!
