For our radio production, we will be going through the BBC’s history and identifying how it has both positively and negatively affected people in Britain. We will also be discussing some of the key broadcasts the BBC makes, such as Doctor Who and the World Cup in Qatar. We will be referring to Todorov’s theory of a beginning middle and end with the systematic structure of our program. We will do this by separating our key topics with music closely intertwined with the BBC like Gorillaz and Dizzie Rascal (British bands) to ensure we have breaks to figure out how to talk next. There will also be references to Levi-Strauss’ theory of binary oppositions, with Jayden often being the voice of reason and attempting to get other opinions from everyone else.
The idea of intimacy, which is in almost every broadcast and narrowcast will also be in ours. With use of an informal register and selective use of pronouns will be able to construct this same intimacy between presenter and listener. Radio is either a broadcast or a narrowcast depending on the size of the audience, for ours we expect our live audience to be 10-20 so this would be considered a narrowcast.
