Paul Baldassari –
I am new to radio so for me this was a great course from start to finish on the concepts of how to produce effective creative. And the method of presentation made it enjoyable and totally painless.
Joe Geoffrey –
Production values are weak. No actionable information gleaned in first 5-6 sessions. Pretty elementary, even for beginners.
Earl Pilkington –
Very good course for beginners. And, a great refresher for those of us in the industry already as I gleaned some very useful bits and pieces of information, especially the Great Openings. Thanks for everything.

This course was extraordinarily well put together — anticipated all of my questions — left nothing hanging and was narrated with care and warmth. This was a rich, dense and actionable course. It was not a data-dump…It was akin to a workshop or personal tutorial from two seasoned Pro’s. Excellent!!
