Workshop ProposalFor Radio Islam InternationalLenasia, Johannesburg

A 90-minute working session on AI for the Radio Islam team.

Twenty people. One boardroom. No theory. We work on Radio Islam's actual content, in front of the team, and leave them with three workflows they can use the same week.

01 The Brief

A focused session, built around your team and your workflows.

Radio Islam runs around 18 hours of daily programming, a deep back-catalogue of recorded shows, and a multi-functional team of presenters, news readers, producers and journalists. A 90-minute workshop to bring the team up to speed on AI and where it fits in the day-to-day work of the station.

02 What the team leaves with

Five concrete outcomes from a single 90-minute session.

  1. A bundle of custom AI workflow skills, pre-built around Radio Islam's actual content, that the team can plug in and start using the same week.

  2. A real Radio Islam segment transformed live into a week's worth of social content, show notes and on-air-ready material in front of the team.

  3. A complete research workflow demonstrated live: story research for a current news item, guest research and interview prep for a hypothetical Radio Islam guest, and topic background for a presenter going on air the same day.

  4. An understanding of how the Radio Islam back-catalogue of recorded shows can be made instantly searchable, with practical examples.

  5. A forward-looking use case: reaching South Africa's Zulu and Afrikaans-speaking Muslim communities through translated and re-voiced versions of existing programming.

03 The 90 minutes

Three live demos. One conversation. Mapped to the four functions in the room.

00:00 to 00:08

Open and framing

Three concrete wins for a working radio station in 2026. No theory.

00:08 to 00:30

Demo 1: One segment, ten outputs

For presenters and producers. A real Radio Islam English segment is transformed live into a transcript, clean show notes, three social-clip-worthy moments with timestamps, an Instagram caption, and a thread for X. Six minutes of input becomes a week of content.

00:30 to 00:55

Demo 2: Research acceleration

For journalists, producers and presenters. Three research flows in one block: a current SA news story brought from raw sources to on-air-ready brief in three minutes; a guest dossier built for a hypothetical interview; and topic background pulled for a presenter preparing to go on air the same day.

00:55 to 01:15

Demo 3: Archive search and local language expansion

For everyone. Two parts. Ask the back-catalogue a question and watch the relevant segment return. Then a strategic seed: the same English segment translated and re-voiced into Zulu and Afrikaans, opening Radio Islam to communities no other station is reaching at that level.

01:15 to 01:30

Open conversation and close

Real questions from the team. Real answers. Close with what comes next for any department that wants to go deeper on a specific workflow.

Radio Islam studios, Lenasia, Johannesburg

Audience

Approximately 20: presenters, news readers, production, journalists, producers

Duration

90 minutes, including open conversation

AV requirements

Smart TV connected to boardroom computer (already confirmed). Strong wifi for live demos.

Pre-workshop preparation

I will request one or two short Radio Islam English segments from your team in advance, so every demo runs on your actual content rather than generic examples. This is what makes the session land.

05 Investment

Radio Islam community rate.

The standard rate for a workshop of this depth and customisation is R18,000. As a community gesture to Radio Islam, the rate below reflects a discount of just over 52%.

Standard workshop rate R18,000
Radio Islam community rate Workshop feeR8,500

Included in the workshop fee

  • Pre-workshop preparation using Radio Islam sample content
  • 90-minute live session at the Lenasia studios
  • A bundle of custom AI workflow skills, pre-built around Radio Islam's content, covering content repurposing, research acceleration, and back-catalogue search
  • Setup and quickstart documentation for the skills
  • 14 days of email follow-up support if any workflow needs clarification once the team starts using it
Travel and accommodation. I will be travelling from Pietermaritzburg. Flights, airport transfers, and one night's accommodation in Johannesburg are not included in the workshop fee. Radio Islam can either arrange these directly or reimburse at actuals against receipts.
Excluded. Any custom development or done-for-you implementation. If a specific department wants to go deeper on a workflow after the session, that becomes a separate conversation about a follow-up training engagement.
06 Date Options

Late mornings work best.

Option 01

Wed 24 June 2026

Option 02

Tue 30 June 2026

Suggested time: 10:00 to 11:30. Open to alternatives if a different slot works better for the team.

07 Filming and Recording

On-site filming, with Radio Islam's approval.

With Radio Islam's permission, I will bring a videographer to the session. The videographer will capture me presenting, the screen demos, and ambient shots of the boardroom. Team members may appear in some footage as part of the working environment.

Any clip considered for public sharing will be sent to Radio Islam for approval first. Where required, team members' faces will be blurred or excluded from publicly shared footage. Internal-reference recordings stay with Asmal Digital and are not shared.

08 What Comes Next

If a specific workflow earns its keep, we go deeper.

If a workflow demonstrated in the session generates strong interest from a particular department, the natural next step is a focused follow-up training for the people who will use it daily. This is offered as a future option, not a condition of the proposal.

09 To Proceed

Reply with a preferred date and we book it in.

I will confirm the date, send a short engagement letter with payment details, and request the Radio Islam sample segments for pre-workshop preparation. Jazak'Allah khair.
