We can help you produce it and help you find your voice” (Sloan Yip.) For this article, Discorder spoke to Program Managers Jamie Loh and Jasper Sloan Yip about what it means to manage radio programming at CiTR during the pandemic, how anyone can get started in radio at home, plus some of their favourite shows on the airwaves.Approaching programming with the motto, “programmers get to design their own experience,” Jamie and Jasper work to get people on the radio and then “get out of the way”(Sloan Yip.)
