BBC Radio – Grimmy Chats To Emma Watson

This is an interview featured on BBC radio featuring presenter Grimmy and his guest Emma Watson. I will be analysing the technical sound features in certain segments of the interview.

JingleBBC Radio has its own jingle sound for the start of each broadcast. It features a woman introducing Grim “Grimmy” Shaw. Jingles are a good way of introducing a show or identifying the radio show because it’s catchy and is easy for audiences to remember.

Q&AThe radio show features Emma Watson as a guest on the show where Grim Shaw interviews her by asking questions and she delivers him answers.

Phone-InsOn the radio show Grim Shaw announces that Emma Watson will be on the radio show on twitter which is an obligation for tweeters to reply with questions they would like to ask her. On the show he then reads them out to her along with their @name.

SilenceSilence is not mentioned in any of the clips I have chosen to analyse however it’s purpose is to build suspense. On a radio show a presenter could be announcing a winner for a competition and before revealing the answer he could make big pauses for the suspense of the listeners.

In a show this is also used in similar ways, it could also be used to show horrific or sad events for example if an iconic character is killed, there is silence to show how distraughtly that event is and makes creates a sense of stillness in the world.
