First things first: An ability to learn, a tendency to be on time and a sunny demeanor count for a lot more than mad skillz. Mad skillz means you're there to use the gear. Eagerness and friendliness means you're there to participate. Don't worry about your abilities, show off your ambition and enthusiasm. Once you're in, THEN you can talk about a "school radio." Although if they have no transmitter and license, you're in for a long haul. These are not things that one orders on Amazon. Best prep is probably to listen to a bunch of radio to see what you like, what you don't, what you'd bring to it and why you care. If you really are going to talk your school into throwing up an antenna, it's gonna look dope on your college application... but it's also going to take a shit-ton of convincing and no small amount of fundraising. Good luck.
I was thinking of staring along the lines of a weekly podcast to get it going. No investment (except time) required... Also, I wrote school radio but i'm actually in University. It's a pretty small one (13 000 people is really not much) and I doubt I can get any funding from school unless I really know what I'm doing (which I don't). I could raise some money myself once I get it going and have something to show for it I guess. Wow compared to the advice i'm getting on here, what i have in mind really seems amateur. Maybe I should start dreaming bigger :P They have limited space in the association and I'm not sure I can make it in so I was thinking by creating a job , I'll be able to force my way in. Time to get involved in starting my own things because I m bored and my CV is shit. Volunteering in small russian community events doesn't really look good on Linked In when these events don't even have a basic website.
Yup, anybody can start a podcast. Having an "official" school podcast will take a bit of convincing and I wanted to be on the top of my game. Y'all gave me confidence and now I know way more than I would need for what I had in mind so I could actually pretend I know what I talking about now! This hole discussion also gave me a bunch of ideas :) I should start dreaming a bit bigger, cause I was all unsure for what I see now is a pretty basic project. I almost feel lame at how everybody assumed I wanted to start an actual radio station, which I bet someone with more confidence could actually pull off. Eh, well see where it gets me... gotta start small.
