The document outlines a proposal for a new radio show that combines elements of podcasts, comedy shows, and celebrity interviews. It would feature two consistent hosts discussing the week's headlines and political issues in a casual, funny way, along with a special guest and audience participation segment each week. The goal is to make politics and news more accessible and entertaining for 16-25 year olds through a relaxed conversational style, inspired by shows that are diversifying formats on Radio 4.

1. My Radio Show

2. What is my idea?
• I plan to create a radio show that subverts from the old-fashioned,
and traditional template and structure of previous radio
scripted shows such as The Archers.
• To combine conventions and elements of relaxed chatty podcasts and
the stand-up comic style often adopted by Radio 4 comedy shows

3. What is my idea
• 2 consistent presenters, with a
special guest each week

4. Inspiration

accessing the news. I don't believe that the news shouldn't just be for
people who are naturally interested in it, but equally accessible to all
that are effected by it
• "The show that breaks the news and asks four opinionated panelists
to put it back together again" BBC Radio 4 Scotland
Shows like 'Late Night Woman's Hour', show that even Radio 4 is having
to diversify out of traditional radio show conventions, and use a more
casual, and chatty approach

6. What I plan to incorporate
• Think Celebrity interview, but make it political, with a dash of
audience interaction
• Casual, chatty conversation of

7. How will it fit the brief?
• a fun-loving 16–25 year old mass market demographic.
• Content must be suitable for Radio 4 in the late evening comedy slot
(weekdays 11pm–11.30pm).
• a pilot comedy programme to be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in an
attempt to attract a broader audience to the channel
