Introducing a future DS106 Radio DJ in training. He may only be starting to string words together, but with the magic of audio editing DJ and Nana have created a new radio bumper for DS106 Radio. [audio assignment 36]

This all started because I noticed on my regular Wednesday afternoon visit that DJ was wearing a “Rock the Mic!” t-shirt today.  There was no way I wasn’t going to snap a photo of that to post for audio week. (Camera+ app on my iPhone).  DJ loves having his picture taken.  He poses and smiles when asked, and wants to see the results of his “modeling” efforts right away.

Then using the Recordium App I was able to capture DJ repeating back to me, one word at a time,  “Nana listens to DS106 Radio”.  (And letter at a time when it came to the DS106 portion.) He did almost all of them on the first take! Both Mom and Nana were surprised.  It was great fun to replay the recordings and have him repeating the words all over again as he listened to it.

After dinner I downloaded the .wav files into GarageBand and chopped out the bits I wanted. I like that I start with the “can you say” phrases then follow up with a closely edited sound clip that strings together only the DJ parts. It tells more of a story and makes the bumper as a whole more interesting.

You can bet you’ll be hearing this little guy’s radio bumper the next time Nana hits the DS106 radio waves. 

UPDATE: The JunioRS added this bumper to the end of their DS106 Radio Show, “Spinning Round” aired on 10/22/13 for the Headless ’13 Radio Show group assignment.
