Podcast Analysis; Steve Lamacq

Structure;
The podcast starts off with a short musical jingle, followed by a short 'welcome to the podcast' from the presenter. They then introduce the song and artist and use two sample clips to show what they'll be talking about on the podcast. After any more information about the artist (such as tours, collaborations, albums etc.) they introduce the three guests, and ask their opinions. The four of them proceed to have small talk related to the topic of the show/podcast, followed by a final summary and score from the guests.

Tone/Style;
The commentary throughout the show is mostly casual, despite being scripted. They also give out contact details on show, to encourage audience interaction. Both the presenter and the guests act friendly when recording, which gives the atmosphere of the show a calm and friendly feel. There is also the occasional anecdote or joke, which shows the podcast as not overly seriousness.

Music/SoundEffects;
The show started with a brief intro jingle to show the transition between the start and the presenter's brief credit to the original song artist. The podcast used two different song clips, and used a fade transition between the two to prevent copyright issues, and after the two clips, the rest of the podcast has a constant background jingle to give the show a less serious feel.
