guidelines on Calling talkback radio shows
- Prepare your key messages before you go ‘on air’. Up to five one-line sentences are plenty.
- Try to answer questions in the context of your key points.
- Your time on radio is limited. Stay focused and try not to let the talkback radio host sidetrack you.
- Try to think of talkback radio as a conversation and not an interview; but do be prepared for questions.
- Don’t be dishonest. Making up facts will not help your cause. If you do not have an answer to a question, then say so.
- Do not say anything ‘off the record’. Stick to the facts.
- You shouldn’t participate in talkback radio debates simply to vent. Remember the reason you are calling is to offer listeners facts and information on misinterpreted issues.
- If possible, use a landline and not a mobile phone.
- Turn the radio off when you call and listen through the phone. There will be less interference and distractions.
- Remember that the listeners are your audience and not the talkback radio host.
- Never be rude and keep the conversation friendly. Don’t make negative comments about the talkback radio host.
- Speak slowly and clearly.
- Thank the host for their time.
