Based on the overview and specific content from two episodes ( the episode 'Home' and one other), explain the following about Late Night Woman's Hour with examples from the program supporting your points.
Lauren Laverne and guests discuss home is the episode 'home'. They ask what home mean to the spectators and if it is domesticity a joy or a drudgery? This is a much more formal episode where the people speak much differently to the modern episodes which include swearing and a quite comical approach.
The target audience is generally women from 35-50 years old. The show is also shown at 11pm on Thursdays and Fridays which is a time that middle-aged women would normally be at home resting, instead of going out, for example, on a Friday night like younger people would do. This would give them a chance to watch the show while their husband or children are sleeping, as they wouldn't want them to hear some of the explicit contents, for example cheating, vaginas and masturbation.
The presenters for this show on the first run were Lauren Laverne and Jane Garvey who led panels of five guests in discussion of a particular topic such as fan fiction or lust, which would normally interest younger audiences, hence making it an interesting topic for older women to discuss. Some of the topics also discussed in the first run were lying, datings apps and Tinder. These were broadcasted after the watershed as the conversations were quite frank and adult.
The show is presented on BBC Radio 4, which is a radio station owned and operated by the British Broadcasting Corporation that broadcasts a wide variety of spoken-word programmes including news, drama, comedy, science and history. It was founded in 1967.
BBC Radio 4 is also available through Freeview, Sky, Virgin Media and on the Internet, which allows it to be accessed very easily if a show is missed or if preferred to watch later. However this has its negative aspects as it means that anyone can access it, especially on the internet, allowing even young audiences to hear it. Younger audiences shouldn't have access to it because of the explicit nature of the topics which may disturb them.
Lauren Laverne, an English radio DJ, model, television presenter, author, singer and comedian, was the permanent host of Late Night Woman's Hour until autumn 2018. She was born in 1978 in Sunderland, England and is now 41 years old.
In autumn 2018, live broadcaster and journalist Emma Barnett took over. She is 34 years old and was born in Surrey.
Late Night Woman's Hour became available in a weekly podcast format in 2018, which listeners can access via BBC Sounds as well as other podcast apps.
