Discussion
In this radio programme, they have broken the show up into multiple segments. The first segment consists of the presenter and a member of the public talking about names. Allowing the public to phone in to talk about things is a good idea from the radio station as it allows them to have a variety of things to talk about instead of a set topic, which would make the listeners bored. This presenter is directly addressing the audience at this point, making it sound like they are having a face-to-face conversation when really, they aren't. The presenter sounds interested in the topic the woman is talking about, which makes it sound more interesting than it really is. Also, the presenter is kind to the person who phoned in, even if they don't agree with something they say, they must treat everyone equally or the radio show would be a disaster.
After this, they move over to the other presenter who talks about an exhibition in Wisbech with artefacts from the Fitzwilliam Museum. The presenter talks about the different artefacts and what the atmosphere is like at the event, he does this in a really in-depth manner, making it sound like you are there! This content fits in as it would interest the typical listener, as they are older people and they like exhibitions like these. This segment is good as if they couldn't make it, they could still hear what it is like. This wouldn't attract a younger audience as they aren't typically interested in ancient artefacts.
After this segment, the presenter keeps a calm and positive mind throughout the rest of the radio show. This is good as it will keep the typical listener listening to the radio station. If they weren't talking like this, it wouldn't entertain the listener and therefore, they would stop listening or change stations.
Reaching out to the audience
On this radio station, they reach out to the audience a lot. This is where they ask the listeners to phone in to talk about their own topic(s). This means that they are more connected with their listeners compared to if they didn't have this segment. This interests the listener as it makes them feel like there is always someone to talk to. The presenter keeps her enthusiastic tone throughout to make the listener more interested in phoning in, it also makes it more appealing to more people because of this. The typical listener also like this as they can phone them up to talk about things and/or request songs etc. The presenters have to make sure they sound professional and agree with the person or else the person wouldn't feel comfortable talking to the presenter. They would also have to be soft on the typical caller as the typical listener is older and they wouldn't want to feel intimidated. It is also good they do it over the phone and not over a tweet etc as older people are less likely to have these platforms.
Travel
In this segment of the radio show, they talk about the traffic in the area where the radio station is broadcasted. They mention any roadworks, accidents or any general traffic to the listeners to make their journey easier. This segment is done professionally, giving the exact locations and road names of where the hold up is. This is good for the typical listener as they most likely won't use programs like Waze or Google Maps to find the traffic as they are older people. These segments typically aren't long, as it would bore the listener if it was too long. The presenter of the traffic announcements is also keeping a very enthusiastic tone, which is good as it would not bore the listener as traffic can be boring. They only need to be short as they are only giving out a little bit of information. The longest segment is 1 minute. It is better that they are short as the typical listener is older, they are more likely to forget more detail.
Sweepers
On this radio show, sweepers are used quite often. These sweepers are pre-recorded professionally and include details about the radio station. They are used to break up the radio show into different segments and to make sure everything is ready for the next segment, making it easier for the listener to understand what is coming up or what is on the show as they may get lost as they are typically older people, also to make it more fluent for the presenter as they have some time to prepare for the next segment. These are often used to promote the radio show too. It is also good for the typical listener as they may forget what they are listening to, this sweeper reminds them what station or segment they are listening to.
