Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I produce BBC Introducing in Kent, Sussex and Surrey. My role is to listen to and log music for each show, checking compliance and for any explicit language.
I then create assets, order the track listing for the show, contact artists to let them know we're playing them.
I film and edit videos for social media about the show, as well as audio packages and mixers for throughout the show.
