The Russell Brand Radio Show

The Russell Brand show is aired on Talksport radio on Saturday evenings from 9-10 PM. It is a comedy based radio show where presenter Russell is joined by friend and co-presenter Matt Morgan and sometimes co-presenter Noel Gallagher. (member of Oasis) Russell used to have a show with BBC Radio 2 but famously resigned after him and a fellow presenter Jonathan Ross left 'cruel and abusive' prank messages on comedy actor Andrews Sach's answerphone in regards to Andrew Sachs' Grandaugher which sparked public scandal and over 3,000 complaints to the BBC. So it is very brave for Talksport to employ him to their radio show as he has the potential to do it again as he is a edgy stand up comedian.
The Russell Brand Radio show isn't broadcasted in the way a standard radio show usually would be. The show is broken into two different sections, half hour is recorded in  a studio whereas the other half hour is recorded in a live theatre or arena with a live audience, this connects him directly with his audience as they have payed to come to she show.
Each show is recorded in a different city, in each city Russell an Matt read news stories out of local newspapers and invite viewers/listeners to interact via phone-in, text message or email, they do this during the studio based and live show. During the live show Russell or Matt also read an extract from Russell's latest book 'Booky Wook 2: this times it's personal'. This shows that Russell is using the radio show to promote his new book.
The show just consists of Russell and Matt sharing stories of each others past, insulting eachother and poking fun and news stories, it doesn't really follow the conventions on a standard radio show as there is clearly no real structure or schedule.
The target audience for the radio show are older teenagers from the age of 18 upwards as the show is broadcasted late(ish) on a Saturday evening. The secondary audience will be fans of Russell's BBC Radio 2 show as fans of the show or even just fans of Russell Brand as he has a very big following.

Pitch/projection/pace/pause

When broadcasting Russell always stands as he is very energetic and often moves about alot during the broadcast whereas co-host Matt is sat throughout the entirity of the show. The pitch of both presenters voices is standard as you can tell it has not been editing and they only use standard microphones that you would use for singing rather than a condenser microphone, this is because they do not use fully equiped radio studio as they are in a different location each time they broadcast, another way to look at it is that Russell's Radio 2 show was so popular that fans of the show will listen to the show just because it's Russell Brand. Both Russell and Matt use the social projection method as they don't have the microphones really close to their mouths as they both take a very relaxed approach to presenting as Russell is extremely confident and his confidence helps Matt as they are very good friends they feel comfortable around eachother and alot of viewers can relate to their banter as it is just like talking to your mate the difference is they have microphones.
There are very rarely any pauses as Russell is extremely talkative and clever therefore can always adlib, the only real pauses are when he's waiting for Matt's response or talking to the audience when doing a live show. During the live part of the show Russell adapts his stand up persona as he is extremely confident on stage due to experience, there are also some slight pauses when Russell is moving across the stage.

Mode of address
Russell and Matt both mix between indirect and direct mode of address alot, mainly during anecdotes Russell will explain the anecdote to the listeners and then fall into conversation with Matt. During the live shows Russell comes onstage on his own to begin with and is direct to the audience as he interacts with the audience in the style of stand up comedy and then later introduces co-host Matt and they then read news stories and offer audience members to share their opinion.
The whole show is formal as the two presenters are constantly in conversation, if not with eachother then with listeners/audience members.
