This is a radio show review of Road Trip Radio by a member of the ADAAM Radio Show:

I unfortunately could not listen to RoadTrip radio live because had to meet for a different group project.  But I was able to listen to it in after it was posted on the ds106 website.  RoadTrip Radio showed on Monday October 21 at 7:30pm-8:00pm.

I really enjoyed this radio show.  It is about a family of 5 that goes on a road trip that doesn’t go as planned, but in the end everyone had a great time.  This radio show really reminded me of an episode of Modern Family.  That’s because of the way the show was formatted, where you get to hear a piece of what is going on in each characters head as well as the whole picture.  The audio quality of the show was really good, I could hear each person very clearly and the volume levels were even.  There were good transitions between each persons point of view and the commercial as well as the radio bumpers.  The bumpers were put in at good times during the radio show.  I liked the sound effects that went into the show, they were appropriate to what was going on in the show at the time, like the footsteps of walking and the and sound effects of starting the car and driving.  I really liked the music in the show as well.  There was mostly music during the transitions and the bumpers.  The music was very effective and related well to the show.  I really liked the bumper that was played throughout the show, but it would’ve been nice to have a different bumper than just one for the whole show.  This show definitely had structure.  It definitely sounded scripted and very well prepared to what was going to happen on the family road trip.  Having this structure made this story be told effectively.  This show definitely sounded like a drama that you would see on TV.  I would give this radio show 4 stars out of 5.  This was a great show to listen to and was able to keep my interest.  I think creating more than one bumper would’ve been nice to incorporate into the show.  But good job to RoadTrip Radio Ireally enjoyed your show though I could not listen to it live.

Now onto my review of my radio show the ADAAM Radio show that showed Tuesday October 23, 2012 at 9:00pm-9:30pm.

I was really happy that I could listen to the show live.  That’s why as a group we picked the last time.  Tuesday was the first time I was able to hear the whole show all the way through.  I heard parts of the show with each separate recording that we sent to each other.  I feel like over all we kept the volume at the same level it was easy to hear.  As a show I feel like we had really good edits and transitions to each part of our show.  In our show we used music in our introduction that I found was a good to transition to each part.  Our show did have a structure but after listening to other radio shows I feel like our show could’ve been more structured and maybe could’ve been more connected as a show.  Each of our stories was  told effectively but there was no one big story that connected it.  I believe that we had a great show and that I would give it 4 out of 5 stars because I believe after hearing the other shows ours could’ve been more as one story of Halloween.  I’m not sure if another member of my group is going to post this but the ADAAM Radio show got a total of 12 peak listeners, below is a screen shot of the ds106 status page of the ADAAM radio show:
