  • Review: Punt and Dennis – Ploughing on Regardless | Nouse
    Nouse Web Archives Review: Punt and Dennis – Ploughing on Regardless Page 1 of 3 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Arts › Features Reviews Books Review: Punt and Dennis – Ploughing on Regardless Hilarious radio duo Hugh Dennis and Steve Punt take to stage as Katy Sandalls reviews Monday 17 February 2014 Photo courtesy of Punt and Dennis ★★★★☆ As a perennial fan of Hugh Dennis and Steve Punt’s inputs on the BBC Radio 4 programme The Now Show, the prospect of seeing them live on stage promised to be a treat – and it didn’t disappoint. Indeed, sat in the majestic setting of the York Grand Opera House, at times it felt like I was at a recording of the radio show with Punt producing his usual masterful set ups for Dennis to later pick up and run with. And run he did, with topics ranging from the TV listings experience to our obsession with the snow the show touched upon every possible avenue. One thing that did come across, lost to a radio audience, was Dennis’ mastery of visual comedy. A particular favourite being his take on the giving out of buns in Denmark to celebrate the signing of the treaty of Rome. That was the first and probably the last time I will see a man old enough to be my father walk in circles around a stage with the flap of jacket lifted up showing the audience his “beautiful buns”. Punt’s earlier cynical comment really summed this up well; the pair are indeed “wasted on the radio”.

  • Twittering On: Audience Research and Participation Using Twitter
    Twittering on: Audience research and participation using Twitter Ruth Deller, Sheffield Hallam University, UK Volume 8, Issue 1 (May 2011) Abstract This paper aims to explore the potential of social network site Twitter as a site for audience research. Drawing on notions of ‘liveness’, participation, convergence and interactivity, it argues that Twitter provides a potentially significant development in our understanding of audiences and their relationship with media, both ‘old’ and ‘new’. The study looks at examples of Twitter users engaging with (and in some cases creating) the news and discussing television programmes. The author’s own experiences of using Twitter in audience research provide a case study suggesting possible directions for future research using this medium. Keywords: audience, audiences, new media, television, Twitter, social networking, convergence, participation, interactivity, liveness, news. Introduction Twitter, the social network site in which users communicate via ‘tweets’ or messages of 140 characters or less has become an increasingly visible part of our media landscape. The service offers an interesting example of the convergence between ‘old’ and ‘new’ media and between ‘producers’ and ‘consumers’ (Jenkins, 2006a). The aim of this paper is to explore the medium’s potential for our understanding of media audiences, their relationships to media products and the relationships between media audiences and those involved in producing the media. Mainly focussing on the UK, it will look at how Twitter users engage with, and in some cases create, the news; how they discuss and interact with television programmes and, drawing on my own research into Twitter discussions about Channel 4 documentary series Revelations (2009), how media scholars can utilise the medium in our own research.
