This is How I … use sound effects
Background sound, wild sound, sound effects … they all contribute to the audio story you are telling. They are particularly important when you are developing a radio documentary, as they help the listener be fully immersed in the story. This episode is about using sound effects particularly in a radio documentary. It was prepared by Mathewos Feleke from Wolita Fana in Ethiopia. https://soundcloud.com/farmradio/this-is-how-i-use-sound-effects-mathewos-feleke?in=farmradio/sets/this-is-how-i-podcast

This is How I … attract women listeners
We often want to ensure our programs are reaching both men and women listeners. But not all listeners have the same needs and interests – including the time of day they can tune in! In this episode, Nangonzi Christine Lynn from 103.3 FM Radio 4 in Uganda, explains how she attracts women listeners to tune in to her program. https://soundcloud.com/farmradio/this-is-how-i-attract-women-listeners-nangonzi-christine-lynn?in=farmradio/sets/this-is-how-i-podcast
This is How I … ensure women are included in my program
When developing an episode, we often want to ensure that both men and women have an opportunity to express themselves, whether during the call-in segment, as part of vox pops, or other opportunities. It can sometimes be challenging to hear from women, for various reasons. In this episode, Julieth Muunga from Radio Maria Tanzania shares how she ensures women are included in each episode of her program. https://soundcloud.com/farmradio/this-is-how-i-ensure-women-are-included-in-my-radio-program-julieth-muunga-radio-maria-tanzania?in=farmradio/sets/this-is-how-i-podcast
This is How I … engage men on gender equality
