OUR NEW FORMAT FOR ’25
In the world of radio and podcasting, technology has revolutionized the way we create, produce, and consume content.
However, with the rise of AI-powered tools and social media platforms, some essential skills that made radio great have become marginalised or undervalued.
RadioStar is here to revive these skills and infuse them a new lease on life.
Why these skills matter
They are essential for radio and podcasters because they:
* Help create engaging content that resonates with the listener.
* Develop creativity and originality in content creation.
* Connect with the listener through storytelling and personality.
* Showcase expertise and confidence in a particular niche or genre.
* Differentiate themselves from AI-generated content.
THE NEW CONTEST FORMAT:
25 CONTESTANTS
5 STAGES
5 CHALLENGES
NO ELIMINATIONS!
>>EVERY CONTESTANT PARTICIPATES RIGHT UP TO THE FINAL<<
The Judges
Each challenge will be judged by industry experts who specialise in the specific skill being tested.
Judges will provide invaluable feedback to contestants, helping them improve their craft and learn from previous challenges.
The Contestants
25 contestants from around the world will participate in ALL five challenges, with no eliminations.
Each contestant will progress to the next stage, receiving feedback and guidance from the judges along the way.
____________
AS ALWAYS, THIS CONTEST IS NOT ABOUT COMPETITION.
THE FOCUS IS NOT ON WINNING
OR ACCUMULATING THE MOST SCORES ETC…
IT’S ABOUT INDIVIDUAL GROWTH AND SO, SO MUCH MORE…
IT’S ABOUT ‘IKIGAI’ – LIFE PURPOSE.
