TITLE OF PODCAST
Music Theory

PODCAST TOPIC
The topic of our podcast is the background of pop music from 1960s-
2010s and to let viewers understand the difference of pop music
from then to now.

GENRE OF PODCAST
Our genre of music that we will be covering is pop music. We chose
pop music because it is a genre with an abundance of artists who
have shaped the way pop music is today and also because, everyone
knows and listened to pop music once in their life that way our
podcast can reach an abundance of viewers.
DESCRIPTION OF HOST

For this project we will be making this podcast with our lovely co-
host Marisol Seyk-Malanche and Madison Suman. Marisol is known
as the queen of the 60s, 80’s, 2000s and 2010s music while Madison
is the princess of the 70s and 90s music, you can name any song or
artist in the pop history and we can tell you all about it. Within our
specialty of music, we are also very knowledgeable in the events of
the specific decade and why that music was produced that we made
a fancy podcast about it.

ESTIMATED LENGTH OF SHOW

Our podcast will be a 30-minute show each week. The first reason
we chose this time was because of our target audience of folks from
the age 50 and up. This is our chosen target audience because that
is the age group that grew up listening music starting in the 60’s.
This is the age group that will appreciate the podcast the most. Not
many other age groups would want to listen to the older songs that
they didn’t know growing up. Not only did we choose this length
due to our target audience, but because of the type of show. Since
our podcast is about showing people the different pop music
throughout the past several decades and providing facts about each
song, we decided that 30 minutes would be a good time length.
Anything over that would be too long to hold our audience’s
attention and anything shorter than that wouldn’t be long enough to
cover all of the content.

PROPOSED FREQUENCY OF SHOW

Our podcast will be aired twice a week on Monday and Wednesday

mornings. We chose to have it twice a week because of the amount
of content that will be in the podcasts each week. Since our podcast
is 30 minutes long, anymore that twice a week would be too much
and we would lose our audience’s attention.

SCRIPT VS OUTLINE

For the main parts of the content, we will use a script for the
podcast. For the general information, we will just use an outline to
guide us through it. Also, we will not be interviewing guests during
the podcast, we will just be discussing the songs.

COVER IMAGE
As you know this podcast consists of two girls and of course the
cover has to be girly which it is. We thought this cover represent the
vibrance of each of us and was very classy to put as our cover.
