The new semester broadcast kicked off last Friday at noon by the lovely 
legs belonging to the Amy and Briony show. Since then there's been 
fifteen hours of live shows a day, nine hours of ever updated Fresh Air 
play listed programming, making twenty four hours of Fresh Air per lunar 
cycle. You could not ask for more. To see the fantastic new schedule 
visit the 'on-air' <www.freshair.org.uk> section on the website.

The launch party the night before the broadcast at The Caves was the 
dog's bananas with a great turn out and a climatic folk pit inspiring 
set by Broken Records! It's three weeks until to the next Fresh Air Live 
event with Found taking to Cabaret Voltaire on the 28th. Until then 
however we have a few events of interest coming up and some extra 
special things to look out for too.

Next Wednesday 13th Fresh Air are hosting a day of careers talk. From 
10am-4pm the Cabaret Bar at The Pleasance will be taken over by various 
speakers from both the Scottish and national radio industry with talks 
from BBC Scotland's presenter Vic Galloway and his production team, the 
programme controller of Xfm Scotland, and the team from the Comedy Unit. 
It's a perfect opportunity to learn more about the radio industry and to 
meet people from other student stations. It's also all free.

Did you know we were on Radio One last Wednesday? Because, you 
definitely do now. Every fortnight Fresh Air is given it's own slot 
within the Wednesday night BBC Introducing show to make features on 
anything to do with the local music scene. This week Fresh Air's feature 
was on the Fife Kills collective, incidentally the label that this 
week's free track is signed to. Listen again at 
www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/vicgalloway <http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/vicgalloway>.

Now, By the power of abbreviation and the desire to make us sound cool, 
efficient and that, we shall henceforth be referring to ourselves as 
the/ FAN/. After all to fan, (verb) is to cool. Get us!

Each week the /FAN /will pick two shows from the current schedule to 
recommend to you. Whilst Fresh Air strives to be the ultimate 
alternative station, with our schedule reflecting the wide variety of 
shows we air. By suggesting two shows a week we hope to intoduce you to 
something you may not have heard before, and that you definitely ought to.

category from last year.

Model <www.myspace.com/makemodel>on air as well as Kowalski

3.30-4.30 on Fresh Air.

On Saturday 9th Feb Jason Bond will be doing 'relationship special' on 
his Let's Push It Forward show. This one-off show will act like a biopic 
of a relationship, with songs representing the early days, right through 
to the bitter end. It's on 8-9pm this Saturday, if your single and you 
know it clap along!

The following Sunday, Sunday 17th that is, Lindsay Sugden

Every week the /FAN/ will be giving away a free download. And we hold 
that truth to be self-evident.

This week's free track is "Know by now", by Edinburgh based Eagleowl.

Eagleowl are a lo-fi post folk trio who got together back in 2005 with 
the idea of making some music. Not only did they do exactly that, but 
they did it rather well earning themselves a signing to the Fife Kills 
label. They're currently supporting The Twilight Sad, again by playing 
music and can next be seen on the 20th March at The Liquid Rooms.

Last year Eagleowl graced the This Is Music show on Fresh Air, talking, 
playing, and allowing us to record a live version of "Know by now". That 
very track is available to download here 
<www.freshair.org.uk/newsletter/eagleowl_-_know_by_now_%28live%29.mp3>.

Every week /FAN/ will dish out production tips, on-air tips, and any 
pieces of advice we think those interested in making radio may be 
interested in. This week we're starting simple.

Fix Up, Sound Sharp.
Smarten up your show with a jingle. If you don't have any sound editing 
software the easiest place to start is with Audacity 
<www.audacity.sourceforge.net>, downloadable from their website. It's 
free and the most basic editing software available. With it you can cut 
and loop songs to make your own bed music, alter voices to make 
interesting jingles or simply cut down your show to turn into a podcast 
or a present for mum. It's as easy as peasy pie to use to. However if 
you don't know where to start, sign up on the Fresh Air forum for the 
weekly editing work-shops on Thursdays at 7.30 in Studio 2.

Have a feature for you show? Want to make a feature for your show? With 
gimmicky sound effects to boot? /FAN/ recommends these great websites to 
download free sound samples, royalty free, totally legal, we promise etc 
etc.
