Chapter 8. How to Use AI Without Losing Your Voice

Use Artificial Intelligence as a Tool, Not an Excuse We’re living in a moment where AI is so deeply integrated into the creative space that, if we’re not careful, we might stop creating and start simply accepting whatever the machine suggests. And in radio, that’s a surefire way to lose your direction. Let’s be clear from the beginning: AI is a tool. A powerful one, yes. Surprising, too. But it should never replace your point of view, your style, or your judgment. This chapter is all about how to make the most of AI without letting it steal your voice—literally and metaphorically. VIDEO SNEAK PEEK: What Can AI Do for a Radio Station? Speed: Quickly drafts texts, scripts, intros, or closings. Versatility: Can write in different tones, for various audiences or formats. Consistency: Helps maintain a coherent editorial line. […]

The Audio Chain: Sounding Good Is a Choice

From Microphone to Listener: Every Link Matters There’s an uncomfortable truth in the world of radio: you can have the best idea, the most charismatic voice, and the finest music selection… but if you sound bad, nobody sticks around to listen. And the worst part is that sounding bad isn't always the microphone’s fault. Sometimes it's simply about not respecting the origin of the audio signals. That’s why this chapter focuses on something fundamental to achieving professional sound quality: the audio chain. [lwptoc] Video Sneak Peek Check our video overview on today's topics: What Is the Audio Chain? The audio chain is the path that sound takes from the moment it's created (a voice, a song, an effect) until it reaches the listener. Every link matters. Each step must preserve the integrity of the signal. And as with everything […]

Chapter 5: The Language of Radio – How to fix your radio scripts to grow your listeners

Quick sneak peek Writing to Be Heard: Speak to the Ear, Not the Screen Broadcasting isn’t just about using your voice. And writing for radio is not the same as writing to be read. Radio—even digital radio—is still an oral, auditory, and emotional medium. Your listener doesn’t have subtitles, can’t rewind, can’t pause. What you say either lands the first time... or it’s gone forever. So, if you want your station to sound consistent, stylish, and full of personality, you need to master one essential skill: radio language. This isn’t about academic grammar or “speaking properly.” It’s about connecting, flowing, sounding natural... and leaving a mark. [lwptoc] Get the next chapters in your inbox! Radio Is Written With the Ear One of the biggest mistakes made by radio or podcast creators is writing like they’re drafting a blog post. Long […]

How to Build a Sound Identity for Your Radio Station

Video sneak peek A radio station isn’t just about what it plays—it’s about how it sounds over time. And that comes down to one essential (and often forgotten) element: structure. A strong, well-designed schedule doesn’t call attention to itself—but it’s felt. It keeps listeners tuned in a little longer, brings them back tomorrow, and makes your station feel alive, intentional, and dynamic. Without structure, everything blends together—or worse, it feels aimless. Get the Next Updates in Your Inbox Want to go deeper?

Chapter 1: The Radio of Your Dreams Fits in Your Pocket

[lwptoc depth="3"] The Radio of Your Dreams Fits in Your Pocket And it’s built with thought, method, and a clear intention. For decades, setting up a radio station was a privilege reserved for those with budgets, licenses, connections, and above all, a studio full of technology. Radio was a closed club. It was spoken of with respect, but also with a certain distance. It was a medium… but also a mystery. That has changed. And not just because of technology. What’s truly changed is the way we understand what it means to create a media outlet. Today, you can have your own station broadcasting 24/7 from a laptop and a decent internet connection. And not just a homebrew station: a radio with professional sound, a clear identity, and a well-thought-out programming schedule… A station with soul. But just because it’s […]
