Wearing ripped jeans and a
trendy snap-back, you would think that Luke Franks was just another
University student here at De Montfort, when in truth he is far from it. Ladies and gentleman, prepare yourselves for Luke Franks, radio, TV and
online presenter!
A down-to-earth,
charismatic and passionate being, Luke Franks is not only
friendly and charming, but also provides invaluale knowledge and advice to those who wish to enter the field of presenting
and media. With his invaluable insight and friendly nature, you also
come to learn this: Luke Franks is in this business because, quite
frankly, he loves it.
The interview process,
which took only one short hour, was enjoyable and engaging - Luke Franks
is friendly, but also really funny as well, and had so much to tell in
such a short space of time. He shared his experiences with us, from
starting out as a student radio presenter at Cardiff University where he
realised his true passion, to presenting on Fun Kids Radio as well as
online for the X-Factor.
Luke Franks made sure to give insights into the amusing side to his
job; in University, he hired out a dinosaur mascot and crashed flat
parties, all to promote the University Radio. And for Kids radio he even interviewed Kermit the Frog.
Aside from the fun and
creative aspect of his passion though, Luke Franks also shared his
serious side and gave us this great advice to take away: if this is your
passion, don't stop doing it, even if it is competitive. Volunteer,
do free gigs and take what you can, research your audience, and
remember: just have fun and love what you do.
