For me at least, 'Breakfast' (Sunday to Friday), 'Night Tracks' and Soweto Kinch offer the right 'product' at the right time. That's very rarely the case in the intervening 12 hours 30 minutes!.
Once it gets down to so few programmes, why bother at all? As long as they get no worse you'll continue to listen. When they clunk down another rung or two maybe even you will give up?It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

Originally posted by Retune View PostI really don't know why they bother with entire movements - surely just a first subject, coda or cadenza would be enough to give us a flavour of the work? Then there'd be more time to advertise 'Call the Midwife' or invite listeners to tweet their favourite classical chillout playlists. Would anyone like to DM @classicjacko to suggest this exciting new concept? I'm sure he'd enjoy unpacking it.
