A radio trailer needs to engage the audience in the same way a newspaper advertisement does. It is important to give the right amount of information without giving to much.  The music within the radio trailer should identify with the genre and the topic being discussed within the full documentary. Sample interviews are a good way to get the audience to be more enuthasic about the documentary and it is always a good idea to say about any guest speakers. A clear voice over is essential as the audience need to be able to hear things such as the date and times being said within the radio trailer. All these things help to make the the radio trailer catchy and exciting.
