Task 3: Be able to plan and structure interviews for identified purposes (radio interview)

Radio Interview

The purpose of this interview is to gain an understanding about people that are pre judged because of their hair colour. It’s a lighthearted educational interview that gives the listener an insight into someone that is born with ginger hair.

Structure 

The questions that I have asked in my radio interview are mainly open to allow the interviewee to open up and expand on there responses to the questions, rather than giving one word answers. Each question is designed to follow the last and the way that they are worded gives a more relaxed feel and it makes it seem more like a conversation rather than a quick question fire round.
