[Music] [Applause] whatever type of radio you want to make whether it's music or talk bass it often makes sense to plan out your shows in advance to make sure that you're producing the best possible content and the best way to achieve this is to use a well structured radio script in this video we're going to share our top 5 tips the professional radio stations use to write scripts which keep their listeners engaged and coming back again and again number 5 choosing the right type of script just like TV and other forms of media there were different formats within radio so as a result there's not one set format that you need to follow ultimately the type of script you write depends on the type of show you're presenting for example if you're presenting a talk show you'll need topics and a structure to allow the whole show to flow smoothly talk radio shows are typically an hour long so filling all of that time with interesting and engaging content for your listeners is really important so it's important to pick topics and plan out what you're going to cover within that time frame primarily there are two types of scripts that are the most common which are talk and music so let's compare them and see which is right for you typically a talk radio script is all spoken word it centers around your topics and the story you're trying to tell so it's beneficial to script out your talking points firstly split up your script into sections like any good story it has to have a topic a start a middle and an end so choose a topic you want to cover it'll run as a theme throughout your show so make sure it's something that you're comfortable discussing for long periods of time you need to be able to talk confidently and authoritative ly about this topic for an extended period the first part of your script should introduce this topic summer writing it for your listeners the middle part is the real meat of what you're talking about so this is where you can go into plenty of detail and go off on tangents as well and finally the ending should bring all of these points you've been making together to provide some sort of closure or summary for the listener so now let's look at music scripts now just like a talk scripts a music script focuses on storytelling but in a slightly different manner a music show is much more likely to cover lots of different little topics in between tracks these things are what we called links and the stronger the links are the stronger the show will be say for example a presenter will introduce a certain topic which somehow relates to the track that they're about to play then they'll play the track and then after that tracks played they'll pick another topic which links the next...
