Feel free to download selected episodes of Usapang Media, a radio program I co-host on DWAD (1098 khz AM station) every Monday from 3:30 to 4:00 p.m.

The WAV files may be retrieved from the website of the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP). From the index page, you only need to click the “Others” logo on the upper right side.

For the record, I am just one of the many co-hosts of this radio program, so I do not do board work every week. Anyway, you may be interested to download Episode 7 (6 August 2007) about the plight of newspaper correspondents. The WAV file contains our on-air interview with an Olongapo-based correspondent. (Please note that the file is about 19 MB, so it may take a long time to download if you have a slow Internet connection.)

In any case, I hope you will take time to download and listen to it. I’d like to know what you think of what passes as my radio voice. Unlike other broadcasters, I do not modulate on air because I focus more on audibility rather than, say, exaggerating pronunciations or using “bombastic” voices.

Do you think I should improve my radio voice? Your comments will be highly appreciated. Thank you.
