Qualities we must have if ever we’ll take up Radio Production in third year.

You must have a self expression (verbally your head and your heart towards the listeners). Stock knowledge (people rely on you, they share and they expect for advices as well). Be responsible with whatever you are feeding them. Be updated and keep in touch with everybody. Research, research more..”
