Evaluation:
Tea and toast:
The tea and toast radio show presented by Amy Ford and Sam Steel was aimed at the student age. 16-24. the show was well presented particularly by Sam, as he was generally upbeat, and his voice was clear and easy to listen to.
I didn’t participate as much as I would have hoped to, but I did help to create the original logo which was later changed. Georgie being the producer I think gave the group a fire to work as a group and make the show as good as it could have possibly been, I think this is because she works well with others and tries her best to let everyone be heard, even if some of us did not get the opportunity.
By the time we were ready to broadcast I had become a little despondent with the show and the group as I was made to feel like I could not help in the ways I could have. My strengths were not needed, so I had decided to detach myself from the show.
I felt like the I-dents and sound beds were unoriginal, and some it sounded as though they had used them before, however the script written by Amy must have been increasingly difficult, especially when remembering the timings for the playlist.
The Music used for the playlist had been taken from the charts of the naughties... e.g. Basement Jaxx and Gwen Stefani, Which I believe could have been slightly more recent as a lot of these artist have not released tracks for a number of years, although the majority f the public would know these song and would happily sing along to them. There were present songs used also, such as Bruno Mars and Eliza Doolittle which I think brought a fresher spark to the show; like the Chris Moyle’s show.
From what I am aware they tried to base the show on Radio 1’s daily morning show by Chris Moyle’s. I don’t think that they show has the professional touch that the radio 1 team have, but then again, the group did well with what they had to offer. The banter was sufficient and the easy to listen to and was occasionally very funny.
The features were thorough, but I felt a little irrelevant to the show and did not incorporate the cause for the assignment ‘children in need’ enough. But in spite of this Millie fit well with the ‘know your lyrics’ feature well, as she was funny and easy to listen to. The prank call feature I felt was ‘supposed’ to be hilarious, but wasn’t, this was disappointing, because I was looking forward to listening to something with a bit more funny substance.
Sometimes I felt like the mixing desk operator was struggling to get the I-dents onto the playing track at the right time before the dialogue of the presenters, sometimes it was off time. This although did not affect the feel of the show, and the upbeat and fast pace of the show shined through the problems that they were faced with.
Because the show was aimed at the target audience it was, I believe the presenters felt like they could be themselves, making their banter and chat about subjects that the audience would relate to. I think overall both shows came to a successful conclusion, even if there were things I would have done differently.
