 To compare presentation of the programme

The two programmes I have chosen to Analysis is life BBC RADIO 4 - The woman's hour and BBC drama RADIO 4 - English Rose.

 On BBC Radio 4 there is an hour dedicated to woman which describes and has topics on what females go throughout life and this programme is called The woman's hour. On BBC Radio 4 there is a drama called English Rose which talks about the life of a vampire which moves to America for work. The main difference of the presentation of both programmes is that the presenter on woman's hour is a host that talks to people however on English Rose since it's a drama. One of the characters (the main character) English Rose narrate the whole of the programme to the audience. Both programmes has an intro telling the audience what the programme is about and what's going to happen throughout the episode (give an insight). 

The mode of address for English Rose is more informal since it's a drama and loads of people are talking. Especially the characters in the drama that are from America since they use American slang e.g. "Hot stuff". However the tone of the voice varies since there is many scenes that are serious and not serious. Whereas in Woman's hour it's quite formal since they talk about serious topics that happens in real life to females. They have a serious tone to their voice to be informative to one another. With English Rose the audience is able to question why the music is getting louder and building suspense however with The woman's hour that is unable to happen since it's more of a podcast talking about problems, news etc.

However since English Rose is a drama it includes much more sound effects to try and make the audience know what's happening since it's a radio programme. The woman's hour is a programme where people talk about their experiences about being a woman which doesn't include many sound effects due to it being about life and it doesn't have to be emphasised. The cast of English Rose is many voice actors who can take on the roles of the characters whereas on the woman's hour there is many presenters and new guests talking about their experiences on each episode. There is new cast on each new episode.
