What Makes A Good Radio Production? Year13

 Things which should be considered

.Focus on what people want to hear- 16-25 year olds- mass market

.Don't sway off of topic to much due to them listening from being interested in that certain thing

.Excellent communication and presentation skills

.Performance skills and clear voice

.The ability to generate original ideas

.A personable and confident manner

.Good research and interviewing skills

.The confidence and ability to sell yourself


1. Know Your Audience- Radio.co

Understand everything about your audience; why they listen to you, when they listen; what they listen on. Build a comprehensive image in your mind of your listeners and who they are.

Your aim is to create "me too" moments with your listener and the more you understand them the easier that will be. 

Once you understand the, draw from your own experiences and relate them to your listeners. People yearn for the feeling of connection that these "me too" moments can bring. 

2. Make Your Listeners Care

I believe you can talk about anything on the radio. But if you talk about it in a boring, unengaging way then no one will care.

If you talk about something, make it gripping, make it a story, unleash your inner poet and turn in into something that will grab your listeners and draw them into the conversation with you.

3. Talk To One Person

You will know from your own experience listening to radio that it can be a solitary experience.

Your audience is experiencing your show as individuals, not as a group of people. Avoid terms like: 'anyone out there', 'you all', even 'some of you' implies you're disconnected from your listener. An example of this is on YouTube with hosts saying 'hey guys' or 'hi everyone', which talks to a group rather than an individual. 


All of these point can have a big impact on a radio show and even to the extent of whether or not the show is gong to be successful or not.
