Heard the trailer for the new Radders & Maconie show starting next week, I think, after listening to them together on Mark's show, a few weeks ago, it is no surprise to me. I thought that their banter and music knowledge made them a natural pairing, I cannot believe that auntie is doing this, but hey what the hell it should make great radio. What do other posters think?

I'll reserve final judgement until I listen to it, or until I've listened to it for a few weeks, and then see how they get on over a longer period than the occasionally pairing.

It will certainly be worth a listen.

Hi Ella,

It's good to know it's not just me. I thought I was fast turning into a grumpy old woman!

It's got to the stage that when I hear a song that is just awful I think 'oh it'll be one from the playlist!' which seems to be a lot bigger than it used to be!

Helen, ella,

I'm afraid I agree with you. There's not much on R2 to listen to lately. Right now, Terry is finishing and I can hear "er...Dermot...er...O'leary....er on the...er radio" - too much erring for me!

I'm more switching off than on. Stuart still has a good show on Sat but like Helen, I rarely listen at that time of day.

At least we have a few nets to cover Dermot in and tune to another station smooth london from 10 with Mark G.

Dermot still sounds like he's hiding behind a wall talking and whilst hiding from someone.

I don't bother re tuning I just switch off, strange how pleasant it is after a while.

I find myself listening to a lot more radio these days-far more than I ever used to.

Sadly very little of my listening time is with Radio 2-I much prefer stations like Planet Rock, BFBS Radio 2, Smooth (if I am at work) and the reformed Radio L.

I will however make a point of giving the new Messrs Radcliffe and Maconie show a listen-I think it will be good.

In some ways it's a good thing. I don't really like either of them , so putting them on together means just ruling out one show instead of two.

Hiya...

they are a couple of lines from a track by the Alabama 3 called Hypo Full of Love ....... it's a fab track .... I love it!...... not enough room in the signature block to get it all in though..... Smile

I do try ( not every time but mostly) to include a " relevant" line from a song , movie, poem or book in each of my posts ( not including the signature) but I don't think anyone has noticed ( some of them are quite obscure and well hidden).. It's fun for me if nobody else........... No digging! Where's the fun in that?
I hear you ask.
