This show is presenter led, by Elaine Paige and she goes through songs from different musicals. There aren't really any interviews apart from clips playing of people that have rang up and explaining what they are starring in and what pantomimes/plays/musicals they are acting in or are playing in their local area.
Genre
The genre of this radio show is easy listening, soundtracks and musicals. Its very easy to listen to as there is only the presenter to listen to, and there are no interviews or debates to contend with. It is a very laid back show and very much presenter led.
Format
The format of this radio show is presenter led. And then she takes calls from listeners who then provoke a response from Elaine herself, and this will lead to her telling a story to the audience about a specific event in her life.

Thinking Aloud podcast - Ibiza
- Interviews with people who are in Ibiza
- Instudio guests - from Madrid
- It is a formal, structured interview
- The interviewer is asking for the guests personal experience of when he went to Ibiza for a week with young people
- "Tell me... what you encountered." - Its almost like he's asking for a spoken review of his holiday/ experience
- The interviewee is telling the raw truth about hi experience in Ibiza - drugs, drinking, sex and alleyways, travelling home with STIs, broken bones etc. Sometimes coming home dead.
- He talks about how young people have to experience it, to accumulate social status - by posting of Facebook people will think they they're a top dog, but in reality they really aren't.
- He talks about how Ibiza has changed since the 80/90s - its not like it used to be - people now go to take drugs/drink etc, and how it not a place for the older generation.
- He's also saying that Ibiza is a place where its a more extreme display of what most of the people that go there do on the weekends.
This interview is mainly guest led, the interviewee just provides questions that are open so he can have in depth answers.
Genre
The genre of this podcast is; educational, investigative and special interest.
Radio Show analysis - Fan Power
Fan Power - Can Harry Potter fans change the world?
This radio show format begins with a presenter talking in a studio, then listening to interviews/snippets of interviews with people from the public/ part of a group about the Harry Potter fan base.
The show itself is presenter led, but also its led by the interviewees.
They talk to the head of the organisation 'Harry Potter Alliance' Andrew Slack. He talks about how Harry Potter has influenced him to help the world.
This radio show is broadcast on Radio 4.
Genre
The genre is a documentary/investigative radio show, as it is in discussion about how Harry Potter fans can change the world. The radio show itself is talking about 'The Harry Potter Alliance'. And how Harry Potter fans are trying to make a change. It is investigative as it looks behind the scenes into something that most people have probably never heard of. This is where the documentary genre comes into it, if was a visual program being broadcast on BBC2 it probably would be set out in exactly the same way as it is presented on the radio.
Format
The format of this radio show is mainly narrated by guests appearing on the show.

Audience
As this radio show is broadcast on Radio 4, the target audience could possibly be anyone who likes listening to discussions, but I think it would mostly be aimed at males and females aged over 45, maybe even an older audience.
Codes and conventions
Everything that is talked about in this radio show is accurate, as they are not reporting on the news. As there is only one side of an argument being talked about, there isn't really a balance of for and against this subject.
the BBC have a contract with the listener that they are going to make their radio shows listenable.

Radio podcast interview questions
Not a final copy of my questions.
1. How did you become involved in pantomimes?
2. Do you think pantomimes that are amuetur produced are as popular as ones performed on the stage in Manchester?
1. How did you become involved in pantomimes?
2. Do you think pantomimes that are amuetur produced are as popular as ones performed on the stage in Manchester?
3. How much work goes on behind the scenes that the audience don't see?
4. Do you think that if it was just left to amueturs that pantomimes would die out?
Even though these a pretty simple questions, they a open questions which will require a different response from each person. As they are open questions I can wait for the replies from the people and then pick up on things that they say and then ask them questions based on their response.
I can also get some of the following information:
What year - this can be what year they started participating in pantomimes, or which was their favourite pantomime, as they might have performed the same pantomime twice in different years.
Favourite pantomime - this is the same as the previous question, and then I can ask why it was their favourite pantomime.

Interview - 19/1/2014
I did a short interview with Rick at pantomime rehearsals on Sunday, the interview itself lasted for about 5 minutes, but I will probably edit this down.
The responses that he gave to the questions I asked were very detailed, and I only asked 2 questions, and I also asked him questions that were based on his responses that he gave.

Proposal
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.

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.
***Not finished yet.
