I \u00a0create thought provoking audio, to try and make people think about a certain subject and to hopefully educate the audience.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to study radio at Bournemouth University, having already studied radio at Kirklees College, as I felt it would give me the opportunity to create different audio and expand my horizons in the medium. It would also allow me to understand more of the theoretical side of radio. Building from the course I hope to work towards becoming a producer and continue creating thought provoking radio.\u00a0I have produced documentaries on HIV and I am currently working on one about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.<\/p>\n<p>Although I often work on serious topics,\u00a0I have also produced and present on live broadcasts with Nerve Radio for 3 years including the RSL FM broadcasts \u00a0in 2014 and 2016.<\/p>\n<p>This audio excerpt shows the other end of the scale. This is an experimental monologue about my journey through Horror Films.<\/p>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-12640-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.birst.co.uk\/radio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Birst-Clip-1.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.birst.co.uk\/radio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Birst-Clip-1.mp3\">http:\/\/www.birst.co.uk\/radio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Birst-Clip-1.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>Find me here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RyanKirkby1004\">@RyanKirkby1004<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/kirkbyradio\">Soundcloud\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ryan-kirkby-063428110?trk=nav_responsive_tab_profile_pic\">Linkedin<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rkradio94@gmail.com\">Email<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Radio has been a creative outlet for me since I was 16 and throughout this time I have successfully created many different types of audio from dramas to panel shows&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":12904,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"audio","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[54],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 -
