1. Rock ‘N’ Roll Internet Radio ShowReviewKelsey Keighley
For our first radio show we produced a Rock ‘n’ Roll internet radio show.
This show was for quite a niche audience, so I think that the music we chose suited our target
audience very well. Our show didn’t have a specific age range although,we played a few classic rock
‘n’ roll songs such as Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams and AC DC at the start of the show. More modern tracks
such as Blink – 182 and My Chemical Romance were played towards the end. We did this to ensure
that our audience (of any age) were happy with the song choices we made.
The technical quality for internet shows doesn’t have to be as high quality as they would need to be
on commercial radios because the audience for internet radio shows are quite a lot smaller.
Although they do have to be up to quite good quality, I think we did do quite well with the use of
faders in the studio. There was a point in the show (34:05 – 34:07) where there was a second or so
of dead air between mixing the 2 songs. Other than this I think we did well with technical quality,
fading the songs in and out.
The topics we chose to speak about in our show were Band news, where we spoke about bands that
were producing or ready to bring out new albums.For Festival news we spoke about well-known
festivals such as Leeds and Download, we told our audience what bands have been announced to be
playing at each festival. I think our topics did perfectly fit the target audience and the genre of the
show because the listeners will be wanted to know about any new albums coming out, and what
bands are playing at what festivals this year. It is also great publicity for the bands / festivals.
I thought our topics and music choice was practically good in our show, i felt like it all came together.
I and Emma are good friends already, so talking on radio together is great as we both feel
comfortable talking. We also both have a wide variety of music taste so help each other come up
with ideas for topics and great songs.
On the next 2 radio shows we are going to record I think we will be more careful fading the songs in
and out to ensure there is no dead air. Also because now we have recorded one of our shows
already we will be more confident, Other than that I think we did very well.

2. Rock ‘N’ Roll Internet Radio Show ReviewEmma upton
The first radio show we produced was our Rock N’ Roll internet radio show. Because it is an internet
radio show, the audience is quite niche, so they will almost certainly be fans of old or new Rock ‘n’
Roll songs, so our content needed to cater for that audience.
Our show didn’t really have a particular age range, and so to cater to Rock ‘n’ Roll fans of any age we
played old classics like Bryan Adams, Bon Jovi and Areosmith for all the older listeners and new
songs from bands like Paramore, Blink-182 and My Chemical Romance for the younger audience. So I
think our song choices suitably fitted our audience.
As we were recording for an Internet radio show the technical quality didn’t have to be as high as it
would be for a commercial radio show because the budget for internet radio is much lower, as the
audience itself is smaller. However I think we handled the technology and preformed quite well,
especially with the faders in the studio which we used to integrate one song with another. The only
technical problem we had was at 34:05 -34:07 where there was just over a second of dead air
between two songs.
The topics we spoke about were band news and two of this year’s UK’s rock festivals Download and
Leeds. With band news, we spoke about new albums from famous rock bands which were coming
out this year and other new band news. For our festival news section we talked about what bands
had been rumoured or confirmed to play, which bands we liked and which festival we want to be
going to. As these festivals are well known rock festivals we knew the audience will most likely have
heard of them and so this fitted our target audience as they may be interested in hearing about
what new and old rock bands are playing what festival this year in case they were interested in
going.
I think our chat sections were particularly good as we were both quite nervous to begin with, but
when we got into it we felt it came quite natural. Because we are both close friends it was like we
were just recording a regular conversation between us, so when we listened back to the recording
we were pleased in how the conversations came across quite natural and not scripted but at the
same time enthusiastic. We did stutter and mistake words a few times however I think that will
become less with experience and they weren’t very noticeable.
For our next show I think we can work on changing the songs faster to eliminate any dead air, and to
maybe slow down our chat more so there is less chance of stuttering.
