And if R3 needs listeners to suggest pieces, I don't see the need to tell everyone on air who that person was. Stuff a fiver in an envelope to them with a thank-you note.
FF, are you suggesting those requesting send a fiver to the BBC , or the BBC send a fiver to the requester?

The latter - for being deprived of their one minute moment of fame!
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.
Georgia Mann is the new favourite but she has a voice that is too ‘dark’ for me, deep and sonorous
Her voice was ever soft,
Gentle, and low, an excellent thing in woman

"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

I could listen to her all day as I think she has a fabulous voice and, unlike all the other recent and not so recent (no-names-no-packdrill but we all know who) female presenters, she does not sound as if she is reading from Janet and John Book 2.

Not having yet heard her, might I presume her presentational virtues to include the avoidance of strangulated mispronunciatons of foreign names?

What! You mean you missed her 'Gentilhombre'? Worth listening to for that initial Spanish 'g' alone.

Is this the proper place to say that I enjoy Breakfast? I find the mix and length of pieces about right, both presenters excellent and the texts, emails, newspapers and trailers no real "problem".
Too much talking, too many texts and tweets, too many stupid comments and the music is often too low key. Too much singing as well.

Yes, Paulie, I completely agree with your comments. I have long since given up on Breakfast as being too painful to listen to. Just my personal opinion, of course.

Indeed - and with all those tweets, it might only be a matter of time before we start getting them from Donald Duck - I mean Trump - I mean Dump-Truck - urging BBC R3 to make Breakfast great again...
