Proposal

Subject idea

The subject idea of my podcast is pantomimes. I will be looking at whether people involved in pantomimes find them rewarding and enjoyable and also looking back at the pantomimes they have starred in.

Genre

The genre of my podcast is going to be, like a desert island disc, but a bit less formal. There will be a few different interviews with different people, such as the producer and some of the cast and some of the people who work backstage.

Audience
The audience for my podcast is generally going to be aimed for people aged between 14-56 and aimed at men and women. This is because the topic that is going to be featured is probably going to appeal to both men and women.

Participants
The participants for my podcast are going to be people that I know, so my cast mates, I have already asked if they will take part in my podcast and they have agreed to do so. 

Intended station
The intended station that my podcast would most likely be featured on is Radio 2, like the Elaine Paige on Sunday show, where she goes through songs from the musicals, or on Radio 1, when they interview celebrities when they are promoting a film.

Participants

Some of the people taking part in my podcast:

Nat: who has been in pantomimes for over 10 years, and is the cast and children's dance choreographer. 

Rick: a self employed gardener, first met him in 2011 when we did a production of Sinbad The Sailor and he played Mustafa KitKat. Always plays a comedy part, apart from one year he played a villain and was covering things in blue face paint for a week. 

Brian: the newest cast member to join in 2013, played his first role as a Leprechaun beside Rick. And now he's playing an Ugly Sister in Cinderella. 

Kate: Set designer, who is possibly the greatest set painter. Been painting the sets since before I joined in 2007 in my first pantomime Cinderella.

Participants

This is Rick, I am going to be interviewing him for my radio podcast. I first met him 2010 when we did a production of Sinbad The Sailor. And we became friends right away. He's passionate about taking part in anything and also reading, which is probably why we probably have become close over the past couple of years. 

He's a great joke teller and I'm very fortunate to have him take part in my radio podcast.
