This week we again met with Dylan to discuss any progress that had been made on the project. Unfortunately this week I hadn’t personally done that much in regards to the project whereas James had done a lot more in the sourcing of the content and was near to completing this. The one thing that I had done was starting to make contact with potential people who would be interested such as those in the comedy society seeing as they do there own radio show on siren and would be the right type of people to approach(https://lincolnsu.com/activities/comedy). I did also have a brief thought about those who I work with and if any of these journalists would be at all interested in being involved.
Within the tutorial one point that was made was that we needed to expand ourselves outwards in terms of ages as if we were to only be using students then we would most likely never get it commissioned for radio 4 due to radio 4 not basing its commissions around demographics to the extent that radio 1 does. This then lead us to think about how anyone who would be interested that was in an ‘older generation’ than say what we were and at the same time stop everyone who was on the programme being a white man to ensure the programme fitted within the BBC’s diversity rules.
Another thing was discussed was the budget and how we go about doing this as I couldn’t understand the principle of how this worked, after some discussion I understood that the budget was just for this one project and what we were supposed to list in this budget and to what level of detail we were supposed to go into.
