Unit 3.2 Factual PodCasts


Hey fellow internet users.

Within my post I am going to talk about the different formats for radio factual podcasts that I am thinking about using within my factual piece and how I could ask my questions, I will be looking into the statistics of similar radio shows. I will hand out several questionnaire about my subject to see what teenagers and adults thought of their presenter when they were younger and weather they think that they presenter that children television shows  are as good as what they remembered from their past. I will be doing face to face interviews with people on the street and students from my college, Hyde Clarendon. When I make my own factual radio podcast it will be 5-10 minutes long. The idea that I have thought about is 'Children presenters in the media industry nowhere days'. The factual piece will be about what children think of the presenter of the television programmes that they watch and whether they create a better atmosphere when watching television for a child. For my factual piece I am going to track down a presenter that is shown and watched by many on a television channel. I am going to do this by using the internet to find out how to contact this mystery presenter.

My first idea for my radio factual format I have chosen Desert island disc. A desert island disc podcast are usually around 35 minutes long. This type of podcast is updated weekly and is presented by Kirsty Young. The interviewee is asked about eight different records, a book and a luxury that they would take with them if they was to go to the mythical desert island. This podcast will start of with an introduction by Kirsty Young with a sound bed following after her with the sound of birds and a violin.  Kirsty Young will introduce her interviewee by telling the audience their name and what their occupation is and gives you a sneak peak about their past and what they have been involved in. The target audience for this type of podcast would be ages 35-70. This format would be listened by both men and woman who are interested in intellectual side of celebrates and their stories.

The guardian is another podcast format that I have chosen. The podcast that I have looked at is the Spacepod by Lauren Laverne. This format of podcast is usually recorded live at an important event for example for the first Spacepod episode, it was recorded at the Edinburgh festival. Within this this type of podcast the will have a main presenter Lauren Laverne whilst having Jon Holmes interviewing people from within the crowds of the festival. The Spacepod is usually 24 minutes long and is introduced with Lauren Laverne introducing her self whilst explaining what the audience will be listening to on this podcast. The pod cast also starts with a sound bed of the keyboard playing over Lauren Laverne. The target audience for this type of podcast would be ages between 25-55. Both men and woman would be interested in this podcast that has the interests of culture and the different arts within the world and how we see things.
