In my opinion radio broadcasting does not 

 have any power over audience as you can only hear 

 and not see their facial expressions. For some listeners it 

becomes boring as they cannot see how the speaker 

 reacts while he/she is speaking. Most of the people will 

forget what the speaker has said as the speaker will not 

show any emotions while speaking. It also becomes confusing and irritating 

as a person cant keep listening to someone for a long time and not see them. 

sometimes the voice doesn’t reach the listener properly and the listener will 

not be able to make out what the speaker is saying. 

In conclusion radio broadcasting wont make an impact over the listener 

as it will be boring and confusing for the listener. 

‘Do Radio broadcasts have a power over audience’? 
Yes it does because Radio was source of entertainment also and people get information of the different things happening in the world. It is important to hear a radio because a person feels very happy when he hears songs and the voice modulation of the speaker makes a person more  interested. The most interesting thing in this radio broadcast was when there were explosions  on  the planet Mars.

Drama Homework 

Debate on the topic ‘Do radio broadcasts have power over audience?’ 

Good morning/ afternoon everyone. I am Aryan from grade 6C. Today’s topic of the debate is ‘Do radio broadcasts have power over audience?’, and I am for the motion. 

Radio broadcasts started in the early 20^th century and might be a bit old, but they are still very popular across the world, providing  listeners around the world with music, news, talk shows, ads, and more. Some might feel that radio is too old-fashioned to be liked by to modern people, but that is not correct. 

Let’s look at it more closely: 

1.    Radio has evolved over the years, with multiple channels for entertainment, information and news. Listening to music and news is still an important part of our lives, particularly while driving in cities and metros. 

2.    It is also true that there are still people in the rural areas of India who might not have TV. For them, radio continues to be an important source of news and information. It is still a fast and economic medium of taking news to the masses – it could be on politics, sports, farming or weather, or even election and health programs such as vaccination drives. 

3.    Radio hosts or Radio Jockeys also use radio programs to send out social messages on topics affecting the society. 

In the earlier days, radio broadcasts also had educational programs for children. In fact, I feel in the current times, radio broadcasts can also be used for organizing lessons for government school children who cannot afford to have online classes. They will not be 2-way, but at least the students will be able to hear what the teacher discusses. 

With these points I will have to say that radio broadcasts do have a big impact over the audience, and can also be used in different ways for important and meaningful messages.  Thank you for listening to my presentation and have a great day ahead. 

  Radio Drama                                                                                                                                                                            In my opinion Radio drama has a power over audience because it is not only our expressions and body movements that help in showing a story but also their tone and pitch.  

 EG: 

Horror movies are not that scary when you listen to it without any sound. 

When you listen to music or songs you only listen.  

Yes, I definitely agree. Radio broadcasts gives us a glimpse  of what is happening. It is not compulsory that you have to show yourselves in drama, you can express your emotions even by your words. There are some people who might be too shy to act by showing themselves so they prefer radio drama, although there may be people who don’t like  radio drama, but that is their opinion. We can show are feelings through speaking, for example, you want people to know that you are sad so, in that case, you can maybe pretend that you are crying and maybe speak in a sad tone. Another example could be that you are exited, then you can shout or speak in a happy tone, maybe even throw a little giggle. There are different ways you can express your feelings through radio drama. 

 Thank you! 

Radio drama is a form of drama without visuals. Radio drama was very popular as a source of entertainment because it was fast-paced. Radio drama is also known to hook on its listeners.

 I think radio drama has power over its audience as it was very popular and people believed what it was saying. An example is the “War Of The Worlds” radio drama episode. The listeners believed the announcer or presenter. A lot of them went into their cars and fled the “Invasion” area. 

 I also think people believe in radio commercials as a lot of people buy what is advertised. I think people trust the radio because of the number of people listening to it.

 I think in about ninety years ago people would believe the radio as it is a major source of entertainment and a way to communicate with the world around.

 Personally, I also at times believe the radio. In conclusion the radio has a lot of power over a person’s believes and can easily change a person’s perspective. The radio is powerful and an exelent entertainment source.

 Thank you, Oh, and don't forget to listen to the radio!
