Content is everywhere, and radio content consumption has significantly increased over the past few years. In the past, there were just a few radio stations that one could tune into for their favourite programme. However, with the emergence of online podcasts and several other audio platforms that enable you to create your content, radio and radio jockeys have created a niche for themselves. One must understand that when the supply is vast, your content must be relatable and have the potential to grab and sustain the listener’s attention. Here are a few topics that will kick you in the right direction.
Music
Music is quite apparent, but there is a catch. It is always easy to talk about something that is already trending. Take it up by researching the total reach of listeners, their geographical location, and culture and weave the discussion of music along it. Putting an element of your choice will be the required garnish on the plate. By doing so, you may give rise to a trending topic.
Literature
Reading new and exciting books is always on the go in people’s lives. So, whether travelling or just sitting in traffic, a book and ear pods can be your best friend. Literature is also nostalgic. You will have so much to cover for your listeners and invite them to talk and review specific books. Also, remember to conduct author interviews as their life and writing journey can be intriguing for your listeners.
Fun Segment
Suppose the majority of your listeners are from your city. In that case, this is your golden opportunity to increase your listener database. Regular interaction will help you research the average financial background of your listeners. You may then guide them to fun events that they can attend. Exercising this will give you sponsors for your show, making you popular and filling your pockets.
In-house guest interaction
The time of extended monotonous interviews is long gone. Upskilling yourself as an interviewee will expand your horizon as a radio jockey. Brewing interesting conversations with achievers from different works of life will keep your listeners hooked on your show every time.
Education
Education of all kinds is a great conversation builder. People struggle with several things or ideas daily. Be it struggling with finances, relationships, work, or mental stress. Coping with anxiety can get challenging daily. Your show can be a much-needed relief for your listeners. Interaction on these grounds with effective solutions can gain you, loyal listeners.
Honestly, there is no one size fits all formula for radio shows. Unique individuality with required skills and relatability will make your programme a cut above the rest.
