BebelHR: So You Want A Career in Radio? | BebelHR x RD & Nelson Sim of MixFM

People have been saying radio is dead for years. But is it really? And can you still make good money working in radio?

In this episode of BebelHR, we sat down with MIX Breakfast announcer Ryan “RD” De Alwis and producer Nelson Sim to find out what really goes on behind the microphone.

From their very different journeys into radio to the chemistry (and occasional conflicts) between an announcer and producer, we talked about what it really takes to put together a good radio show.

RD also shared how radio evolved over the past two decades, why Time Spent Listening (TSL) matters and how radio remains the “theatre of the mind.”

We also got into the ungodly hours of breakfast radio, working with different generations, career progression, and of course, the money and perks! 💰

So, is radio really dying or is it simply evolving?

Come listen to what the boys have to say!
