Sounds that are used in the Podcast
Station Jingle
For my station jingle, i created an electronic instrumental that should last no more than 30 seconds when in production. The reason why i picked to have the introduction as electronic is because the i want my station jingle to instantly get my audiences attention, and to let them know that the podcast is starting. The reason why i want my station jingle to be different to the focus genre in this podcast episode, is because the whole purpose of my podcast is about music as a whole and not just one specific genre.
Main song for Podcast
For the main song of the podcast it follows in the chosen genre of topic which is country. This soundtrack here is what the guest of the podcast is going to use for his "country song". The reason why this idea still reflects my codes and conventions, is because it is still following my chosen genre while staying on topic with the structure of my podcast and the script. Having the soundtrack lasting around 10 minutes allows the guest to make up as much lyrics as possible needed for their song. Because the app i used is very simple with editing, i can copy and cut sounds from the track and merge them together to make a 3 minute song with 10 minutes worth of soundtrack.
Sound for Podcast
The sound for the podcast will be used when we introduce what kind of genre is being spoken about. The reason why i put this is in is to give the audience i brief idea of what is likely to be heard in a country song (if they don't know). However, it is also used a reference to films and series that often use this kind of sound when the scene cuts to a western location (mainly seen in cartoons), i want to use these inspirations to continue expanding on the constant use of referencing the topic in question on the podcast. The duration of this sound should be no longer than 5 seconds, which gives me the ability to use it at random times throughout the podcast.
The 2025 Grammy's award
One of the main focus point in my Podcast will be talking about the Grammy's, as i will get the guest on the show to talk about their thoughts and views on the winners. I will mainly ask about his thoughts on a country album winning album of the year (must be positive), along with asking how hard it would be for an unknown artist making it into the big four. The reason why i want to reference The Grammy's into my podcast, is because it shows how popular country music is. This will also allow me to continue to reference my chosen genre allowing me to stay on track with the purpose and not go off topic.
Most streamed songs in March 2025
For another topic that i will add on to the podcast is the controversy over streams vs album sales. The reason why i want to add this into the podcast is because it allows us to change topic to keep the audience engaged in the podcast as eventually they will get tired hearing the same genre for long periods of time.
Title and Design Ideas
The reason why I wanted to create a logo for my podcast, was because I felt like just having the standard image that you see from an audio file takes away the title of the podcast/ radio that you have created. This makes my podcast more presentable as the choice of colour that has been used makes the podcast look very appealing to an audience.
