Radio

Dartmouth's ISDN studio can accommodate both live and recorded radio interviews and podcasts.

During each interview, the studio is manned by an Office of Public Affairs staff member. While staff members are trained in basic studio operations, they are not broadcast engineers. Therefore, line tests are strongly encouraged prior to live interviews.
