Minutes for Group Meeting            Tuesday 13/3/12

Present Members:

Allan Martin

Jennifer Campion

Hassan Noori

Liam Tait  

James Walker

Discussion of Package Times:

It was considered that Saturday evening was potentially the best time for the one hour package given its generally documentary style theme. Drive-Time was also considered. We checked BBC Scotland’s programing schedule for ideas. We considered putting it on as a feature of the already existing show ‘The Culture Café’ on Saturday afternoons. However we came to the conclusion it should be our own show completely, on Sunday evenings after the real book and movie oriented shows.

Discussion of Live Guest and Interviews:

There was some mild discussion of the use of music against interviews but it did not really amount to anything. We discussed researching to find a good live guest. We also discussed our ordinary interviews of which three of the five of us had made contact with potential interviewees and two of the five still researching for viable people.

Discussion of Package Ideas:

We discussed the reworking of Hassan’s package idea, generally based on him finding a suitable story arc. We were discussing whether it should be based around the cultural or economic side of the export of Tartan. We also concluded that there should be some readings of a comic book script in Liam’s package to compensate for the lack of visuals in radio for such a visually oriented subject.

Action Plan for the Next Meeting:

To have found a suitable live guest

To have all of us in contact with interviewees

To have Hassan’s angle concluded upon
