It does what music shows should do, which is introduce me to people and things I haven't heard of before. A year ago I heard Wachtel interview Hilary Mantel, then I read some of her books, and today they interviewed her again. A real find for me.<BR/><BR/>DNTO used to introduce me to new music - now not so much (and it sounds increasingly like a student radio show). And as for Go and Stuart Maclean - well, no thanks.<BR/><BR/>Of course, we would be getting somewhere if they would (a) get rid of all those standup comedians who can only tell jokes about being Canadian or being Newfie, (b) stop shouting on the radio - a lot of their presenters (and those comedians) to this: it's like they don't know what a microphone does.<BR/><BR/>So, I agree. They need a real rethink.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
