- My duties as a content producer: I conducted research, organised guest, and made a follow up of all the interviewees, Client from sales, marketing department, NGO's, Artist, Drs, so that I know I have all my ducks on the row.
- Every morning an 1h30 before the show starts, we schedule a meeting with my presenter and share the planning of the show, and I go to the marketing & advertising department to collect log sheet for ads or promos from marketing department.
- Update the social media pages of the show just to give the listeners what we have in store for today's show, and check in studio if everything is in good condition so we can have a smooth 3 or 4 hour show.
- During the show when we have any giveaways I take down all the listeners details and make follow up and respond to all the show sms's and emails and socials.
- So, after the show we schedule a meeting for an hour to discuss the show we just heard and the challenges we encountered be it technically or guest couldn't make it to the show and we also talk about where we can improve the program.
- After the meeting I go to the technical side and cut or edit some of the clips and do playbacks or promos.

- Lastly, when we go out for (OB) Outside Broadcasting, I always assist the technical team connecting the equipment and getting the show ready.
