It is different to traditional radio broadcasting as instead of it being just a voice recording it is also a video recording which some members of the audience may prefer as they are able to to see the producers facial expressions and body language to see how they feel when talking about certain subjects. It is also different as it covers more media platforms than traditional radios such as YouTube, Instagram, twitter etc. whereas other radios tend to just use search portals and radio systems when broadcasting.
