How do you deal with technical glitches during live shows?

Technical glitches are a reality in live radio, and we learn to expect the unexpected. Whether it’s mic issues, streaming interruptions, or sudden music dropouts, staying calm is key. At Big Live, we train rigorously for these moments, so when something goes wrong, we fill the space with humor or a quick chat with listeners while the tech team fixes the problem. I keep backup audio ready—like jingles, songs, or filler content—that can smoothly bridge the gap. It’s important to acknowledge the issue on air rather than pretending it didn’t happen; honesty builds trust. Plus, glitches sometimes create spontaneous moments that listeners remember fondly. That said, we constantly upgrade our systems to minimize these hiccups. But if you’re tuning in and hear silence or static, know that behind the scenes, the team is hustling hard to get things back on track. That’s live radio for you—imperfect, human, and always engaging.
