For this analysis I decided to listen to the radio show called 'The Local Talent Show'. This show is recorded on a weekly basis at 4pm everyday for an hour. The live recording is then uploaded as a podcast an hour after the live broadcast. This podcast is then available on the Sheffield Live website.
So the first thing the audience get to hear is an advert advertising how you the listener can have there very own show on Sheffield Live. We then get a jingle signifying to the audience that they will be listening to 'The Local Talent Show'. We then get our first taste of some music from local artists which is a fairly generic rock band. They then introduce themselves and talk about some music and how music has different sounds.They then play some more music. and then just talk about streaming music on spottily and how he got a "scary" email about the band he was listening to straight after. Then after this fascinating discussion a soothing acoustic piece is played. Then she talks about live events including a band called the seahorses. They then play a few more songs. After we get them to talk about upcoming festivals as it is "festival season". Then they play a final track which is a cover of a song.

The Local Talent Show
DJ's and Presenters
This show is presented and produced by Natalie Beard, who is joined by Graham Marshall and Ollie. They do a weekly. Natalie is the clear host of the show as she is left to hold the floor the most, while others interject there opinions on topics that she clearly comes up with. Natalie appears to rely on Graham Marshall a fair amount because she sometimes doesn't seem too sure on her words. Luckily it means that they have a nice back and forth conversation.
Target Audience
The target audience for this show appears to be people that enjoy finding out about new types of music, and enjoy being exposed to new artists. also I believe that musicians will listen to this to see if the work they have submitted will make it onto the show. I imagine that the target audience is for a younger ABC1 audience whose age ranges from around 15 to 25 because I believe that people above that age are mostly set on their music taste. And have already formulated their opinion within their minds on what music they do and don't like. Whereas a younger person is probably more open to experiencing different sorts of music. The reason why this is relevant to The Local Talent Show is because they showcase new, exciting music fro the audience to enjoy.
Content
The issue with this podcast is that the description of the podcast says they will be having different guests on each week and interview them. Even though the show I listened to had no guests on, it was full of interesting local music talk. They spoke about the past including older bands, and how streaming music is so amassing because it can expose people into the past. This show also has a lot of different genres of music that they play on the show. Probably to attract a more vast audience.
