Phew! Another week, another BBC workshop. Today we hosted the first of two "Capturing Conversations" workshops (the second is coming up this Friday - March 6th), looking at the ways online "conversations" can be incorporated into radio broadcast in particular.
Jem Stone introduced the session with a typically engaging presentation, looking at some of the ways conversations can be "curated" in broadcast. He then introduced The World Service's Ros Atkins, presenter of the peerless nightly show World Have Your Say.
Roo Reynolds then talked us through some of the tools available to help us find conversations out there... For those of you who came along, here's a recap.

We rounded off the session running an exercise looking at some of the weekend's big news stories and seeing exactly what conversations are going on out there around them. The feedback prompted Roo to quote Voltaire, which is always nice. "The best is the enemy of the good." Quite.
Oh, and we took some pictures, of course...
