Urban Unrest

21 June 2006 | Community, Programming | Ernesto Aguilar

Many programmers have requested Audacity trainings and other learning opportunities. So, July is "KPFT Training Month: Programmer Toolbox." Every Monday and Wednesday at noon, Luke Jones (who many of you know as KPFT’s youth reporter and voice behind many a station announcement) hosts training workshops on anything you wish to learn. Luke’s sessions are aimed at being 1-3-person sessions. He will tailor these sessions to exactly what you’re interested in, answer your questions and help you learn in a relaxed environment where no question is silly.

Items Luke will be training programmers on include:

Audacity
Vegas (though soon to be gone)
Wireready: loading shows/PSAs
The soundboard
Mic techniques
Clocking programs

Most of you have heard of Luke and are aware he’s very young. Many may not know he’s logged over 600 volunteer hours at KPFT in a year doing a diverse range of programming, teaching and peer education. He’s one of the best trainers we have, and you will learn a great deal from him.

As an added incentive, the programmer who participates in the most training during the month of July will receive a $25 AmEx gift card and other goodies. Runners up will receive other fun stuff.

Please sign up for training in July with Eric Truong at eric@kpft.org or by calling him on the business line (713-526-4000). Let him know what day you want to come and what you want to learn. Luke will base each class on your requests and develop each session individually. As the one who conducted last summer’s trainings, I can tell you I think Luke’s is far superior in its planning and strategy, and it’s well worth your time.
