It is essential that you post your episode’s description for each show because it allows KPFA to: 1) forward promote your show, 2) promote it on KPFA’s social media accounts, 3) feature it on the website’s front page, AND 4) make your show searchable on the website. The only exception is if you have a music program and are not featuring any live music or interviews and are not playing any particular type of music that you can promote.
Format for episode’s description:
- Please use the present tense (not “John Doe will speak with…” but rather “John Doe speaks with…”) so that it can be read after the fact on the archives page without it sounding strange.
- Spell out names in full, including your own (not “Jane speaks with…” but rather “Jane Doe speaks with…”
- Please pay attention to grammar and spelling as these descriptions will be put up on kpfa.org permanently. It’s up to you to make sure that it is web-ready. Take the time to spell-check.
- Avoid the use of terms like “we” or “I”, e.g. “We discuss the global economy with…” Instead spell out who “we” is, e.g. “Host Nina Serrano discusses the global economy with…” You can’t assume that listeners know all the hosts.
