It turned out to be an awesome day!
And yes, we did get approved to visit the online radio station. It was a little unexpected but I was overjoyed the moment I stepped foot into the station.
We were greeted well by the DJ's of DurianASEAN. They did ask us the reason for our visit. I contemplated whether I should answer that question or not. But decided to be truthful and told them that ET Ideas is planning to start its own online radio station and wanted to gain some exposure through this visit to DurianASEAN.
We were first brought into their soundproof studio where they broadcast all their shows. They were really patient with us as they explained all the equipments involved throughout the process of producing a good online radio show. From the mixer, the mic, the soundproof room, laptops, softwares to other gadgets involved combined with their skills, it was indeed an experiential learning for us.
We even got the chance to do some recording using their devices, where we introduced ET Ideas and ended with "This is DurianASEAN - The Voice Of Discovery". That was the coolest thing ever because it gave me a glimpse of being spontaneous during talk shows.
Excited with this new experience, we moved on to another studio that is in the Malay medium. We got introduced to the graphic designer and photographer/videographer. They are the men behind the videos that DurianASEAN produces on any particular issue.
We then sat down with the DJ's as Q&A session took place.
We asked so many questions about their experience as an online radio DJ that even their guest speaker for their talk show arrived. The visit ended with a photograph of us with the DJ's and we said our 'thank you's before leaving the place.
The best part is our aim was still achieved as the DJ's themselves gave us ideas on how we can come out with our own online radio, instead of taking us as a competitor like most people do.
With that said, isn't opportunity always there? It's whether we are ready to grab it or not.
