Serial podcast and radio show

Serial podcast season 1

In  the serial podcast the lady who is speaking starts of by explaining what her podcast is going to be about whilst she is explain she then uses music which is called oral landscape. She uses very upbeat music depending on what she is saying at one point she was talking about romance and love and then she uses music over it which is very subtle and romantic music to fit in with what she is saying this is to create meaning and so that the viewers feel as if thought they are experiencing it also adding in the music makes her story sound more interesting and more enjoyable to listen to.

In the podcast there isn’t much silence but the lady does take breaks through her sentences to create tension and to make the viewers want to hear more also, taking breaks through each of her sentences or in-between makes the story sound more interesting and more relaxed rather than it be the presenter talking very fast it would sound as interesting also because there is no visual the presenter needs to try her hardest to describe to the viewers of what is going on.

By describing the scenes to us so that the viewers create an image in the viewers minds of what is going on so, that the story seems more interesting and also by connecting and image with the description in your head with the story of what is being told makes the story more easier to understand and also it lets the viewers connect more with the story and making it more imaginary.

The words that the lady is saying and the way she is putting the story together is so interesting she doesn’t give too much away at the beginning she is giving the viewers a quick over view of what happens in the story but doesn’t give too much away so that the viewers then want to find out more she builds tension with her words and also by adding in the music but when she is talking alone it makes you want to listen very carefully so that you do not miss anything out. She then adds in phone calls and interviews with other people so the viewers can have more of an idea of what is going on some of the interviews that this presenter does is over the phone and it is very clear to tell that it is over the phone because of the sound and how it sounds a bit more different to when she is doing face to face interviews. This is so that the viewers get a second opinion of the story and also to make it sound more real life because there are ordinary people who are involved in this situation and who have a story to tell as well. Whilst the interviews are going on the presenter cuts through it and talks about the interview itself so that she can give her option about it this makes you want to listen to her opinion and follow it so that you can think the same also this is sued so just in case the viewers don’t know what the interview is about the presenter clears it up and then goes back into the interview the change through the interview to the presenter talking herself is very easy to tell the difference because of the different sounds that is going on the interviews have more of a ruff sound and the presenter talking herself has more of a subtle and clear sound.

This pod cast has more of a wide range of audience because the story does involved young teenagers so it could appeal to young teenagers also and it could also appeal to older people who are interested in things and story’s to do with crime and mystery.

Compared to the radio on breakfast show the two are very different as the radio show has much more upbeat music to wake up the viewers and to make then happy and they also use aural landscape when combining very upbeat music to a man who is very upbeat and loud and does not take breaks through his sentences they use a jingle ‘’radio on breakfast show’’ this is for branding so that the viewers know wat radio show they are listening too also they start off with new music that is very popular at the time and then they go to talk about things with celebrities or just normal people they usually have phone-ins for people who have won things over the radio show this makes people want to join in so that maybe they could win something too. In this type of podcast you would of have to be tuned in from the beginning of the podcast to understand fully what is going on whereas in the radio show you could tune in at any time thought out a song or interview and still get what is going on.They also usually have interviews with other people about things that have happened recently and they have phone-ins to do that to they could also have interviewers on pointless things that the audience can’t help but listen to. The radio show is on in morning that is another reason to why the music and the presenter is very upbeat to wake people up for this radio show the audience is mainly older people or young adults for people who are dropping their children to work or who are going to work.

In the radio show they also use announcements at the beginning of what music is going to be played ‘’we have Rita ora…’ this sis o that the viewers know what is going to be played throughout the radio show.
