how it works

BEFORE YOU BEGIN: We DO NOT accept volunteers who do not agree with the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. We may or may not censor some of our music across some of our networks. If you disagree with the music or language of any of our other networks, this is not the place for you and we thank you for your consideration. However, we ask that you kindly disregard the decision t o volunteer with BlackBerry Radio if you feel uncomfortable with Free Speech. Thank you!

If you already have recording equipment, great! You can record your voice tracks or podcast with your preferred hardware and software. If you don't have any equipment, no need to buy any. You'll be able to record your show with the one simple thing nearly everyone has: your smart phone. Over 85% of our volunteers use a cell phone to record their show. Follow the easy steps and you will also be able to record and your show for broadcast on the BlackBerry Radio Networks!

TAKE NOTE: When recording, please be mindful of background noises. Your smart phone's microphone is highly sensitive and can pick up fan and air conditioner noise, refrigerators, and light automobile traffic. Many volunteers cover their phone with a regular box to block out some of the background noises when recording. You can also try this and other recording techniques to make your experience better. Whatever is more comfortable for you, is always best.

WRITTEN SCRIPTS: We understand content can be a little difficult and time consuming, so we provide content-writing for your show. Read the scripts we email you and email them back once you're finished. We will produce your vocals and have your show created in our studios. All you need is to do is provide us with your great voice!

THE RECORDING PROCESS: Here's how we create your wonderful radio show from start to finish:

1. You record your script parts (shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes)
2. You email us your script parts using https://transfer.pcloud.com and MAKE SURE you put our email in the receiver field: info@blackberryradio.com --- also make sure your show info is in the MESSAGE field of transfer.pcloud (for instance: Your Show Title 05192021)
3. We build the music and station drop-ins AROUND your voice parts.
4. Once you send us five full recorded shows, your show will be scheduled to play!
5. When we have a full week of shows from you, we schedule them to air on the days and times your show will run.
6. Any of your shows that run on week ONE, will repeat on week THREE.
7. Any of your shows that run on week TWO, will repeat on week FOUR. This way, you are actually only recording two full weeks of shows within a month's time.
8. If you EVER have an issue, please email us at info@blackberryradio.com
