Experience Hampshire Lunchbox Quiz with Phil Watson
Experience Hampshire -Lunchbox Quiz
Thursday, 10 August 2023 - 47 minutes
Today Voice FM held its first session through Experience Hampshire, where the guest becomes a radio presenter for the Lunchbox Quiz.
On the left is Phil Watson who was bought the experience as a birthday present, on the right is station manager and radio presenter Xan Phillips who helped train and encourage Phil through his hour of radio.
It began with coffee and Belgian buns, and a chat about radio and also an uncovery on what Phil enjoyed and how we could mould the questions around his interests.
Then it was into the studio to write the quiz and rehearse Phil’s presentation.
For someone who had never been on the radio, but had a keen interest in all types of music, Phil really got into the the whole process.
Once the mics went live it all came together, Phil read out the packs of questions and answers while Xan drove the desk and guided him during the songs, although when it came to Bon Jovi and Status Quo they both rocked out to Phil’s favourites.
Phil was buzzing when he left the studio, the adrenaline was flowing and he certainly felt he had had an experience.
“Phil did brilliantly,” said Xan Phillips. “He took the opportunity and ran with it. There was a great atmosphere in the studio and Phil approached the role with professionalism, along with that bit of sparkle that you need when you are on air.”
“We’d also like to thank Roger Walker and Jane Ray of Experience Hampshire for setting this up and making the whole process run smoothly. It’s great being part of their portfolio and we hope that this becomes one of the county’s “must try” gifts.”
If you have a family member that would enjoy trying an hour of live radio, you can book your experience here.
