How this show was made

As before, the show was recorded on Friday, in the last 30 minutes or so of one of the morning lessons. The students had just done a fun speaking activity, and so they were in a pretty good, happy, chatty mood.

The presenters had planned the topic and a set of interview questions, and students were chosen to come up to the front of the class in a random sequence, and be interviewed by the presenters, who sat together in a group.

Woun had just been to see the film Mission Impossible III, and he "sang" a little bit of the theme tune, as a joke, at the beginning of the recording session. When the students came to choose a jingle, Cosi immediately suggested using Woun's MI3 bit, and that's what is used to punctuate the show.

As before, the show was recorded and edited on the class teacher, Geoff's laptop computer, using Apple's Garageband 3 software program. After class, the presenters gathered with Geoff, and went through the recordings and made a rough cut of the show. Geoff tidied up afterwards and posted it, plus these show notes.
