Red Bar Radio

This podcast is styled around the 'Morning Zoo' formula of radio. A lot of podcasts try to give an alternative to what is freely available on the radio; RBR sticks with this tried and tested formula. Mike D is the main host, and he is supported by two or three other co-hosts. The sound quality of this show is excellent. The show has been running for some time and from what I have heard the host's voices are clear and the sound levels are stable. The show does not always seem to run smoothly from a production standpoint. Mike D frequently seems disorientated and confused about what should be happening on the show at a given point in time and the live format of the show means that these mishaps cannot be edited out. The show is recorded live and at the beginning of the show the host (Mike) introduces his show and runs through the guests that will appear on his show. I have listened for a few weeks now and it is not uncommon for the scheduled guests not to turn up. After listening to the way the main host, Mike D, treats his callers and guests I wouldn't turn up either. Mike D tries to be funny by slamming everyone including his callers and guests. His interview skills are lame at best and he does not seem to have done much, if any, research on his guests. For a show trying to pitch itself as a professional outfit this seems a strange approach to take. In summary this is a podcast/radio show that might appeal to teenagers who find it amusing to hear someone attempt to humiliate people on the radio. If you don't fit into that category then I would advise you to find a podcast with a bit more substance. Podcast Rating: 3 out of 10 To subscribe to the rss feed of this podcast click here.
