3. Target Audience Profile
My project is aimed at ages 16-19, both female and male. My aim is to create a
breakfast show style podcast which means that I am aiming it to be for people that are
getting up and getting ready for college, work or university. My idea is that they would
listen to this whilst getting ready and it would entertain them and help them wake up
and be in a better mood through entertainment and comedy within speaking along
with songs that are popular right now, aiming it to older teenagers too. It is aimed at
people who like to have a productive morning and give people the motivation to get
up, in a good mood and get on with the day with a smile on their face. I will avoid any
songs and news with religious references and news stories that could offend people or
things that listeners may have strong opinions against. Therefore, it will be neutral to
everyone no matter the race, religion and belief.

Ear biscuits is a podcast ran by Rhett and Link. This is
available on all podcast streaming platforms as well as
YouTube. Their studio set up is a mix of both audio and
video equipment to have both video and audio video to
upload onto streaming platforms. Ear biscuits is highly
advertised on the Good Mythical Morning YouTube
channel as it is by the same company and has the same
presenters. The studio is set up to have dim lighting to
give the podcast a cosy feel whilst watching/listening.
The show is family friendly so appeals to most
age groups, however sometimes younger audiences may
not understand some of their references. Ear biscuits and
the good mythical morning crew are heavily advertised
and published on social media. They have social media
pages for fans to keep up to date, have sneak peeks and
get to see some behind the scenes. However, the social
media is aimed more at older audiences as it isn't always
as family friendly and has a lot more mature references.

Yorkshire. However, it can be accessed all over the world

only a small set up as it is only a small local station

11. Research Analysis
âą What common features do the researched products have?
All the products I have researched all have both video and
audio recording set ups to have the option to put it onto as
many social media and streaming platforms as possible. They
all heavily advertise their product on social media, like most
influencers and shows do in this generation as it gets you a
whole world audience.
âą What aspects of the research will you include within your
on work?
I am going to use this research and create social media pages
for my podcast which will include behind the scenes and
sneak peeks of the show.
13. Audience Research
The main age group from the
people that I asked that listen to
the radio, was between the ages of
16 and 19 which is the age range I
was making my project to be aimed
at.
After doing my survey I have found that
radio stations are aimed to entertain
everyone, not just a specific group. This
will allow me to make sure I'm not
heavily saying things that would appeal
to men or women.
I asked what stations people listen
to so that I can study a specific
radio station and see how their
shows run. The most popular from
my survey was Capital FM.
Therefore, I am going to study
capital's breakfast show to help
with my work.
14. Audience Research
I asked where listeners, listen to the
radio from and most said that they listen
in the car which. This could be as a
driver or a passenger and this is the
most popular place to listen to the radio
on. From that, I am going to mention
where you could listen from within the
speaking parts of the show.
I asked when people listen to the radio
and 50% said that they listen to the
radio on a morning for the breakfast
show and after the survey, asking people
and doing some research I have found
that the breakfast show for most radio
stations are the most popular shows.
They have the biggest budget and the
most publication which is why I have
decided I wanted to create a breakfast
show.
On the survey I asked what their
favourite genre/style of music is
and 50% said that pop music was
their favourite or what they listen
to most. However as there was
other types of music people liked I
am going to include a mix of
genres and stick to top songs on
the chart and older popular songs.
That way it's up to date and isn't
biased.
15. Audience Research
I asked, who people would like an
interview from and most said
an artist. I also asked what type of
artists people listen to the most and it
was very close between female and
male singers. As it was such a close
number, I have decided that I am
going to make the interview is
between both a male and female
artist which are releasing a collab
together.
I asked how many interviews people
would like to hear in the show and
50% said only 1, however 40% said 2.
So, what I have decided I am going to
do is that I am going to do q interview
but split into 2 sections. It is going to
be an interview with both a female
and male artist which are 'collabing'.
Most people have said that they do
not follow radio stations on social
media. However, people that do...
