Originally posted by muzzer View PostI know the playlist can veer wildly away from classical, especially on Saturdays...., but I have to say I’ve lately found the team overall to be extremely good. I know we all grumble about the show, you can’t please everyone etc etc, but in times like these I think they’re invaluable.

Originally posted by LMcD View PostI agree, except that I give Saturdays a miss. This gave me time to listen again to the fabulous Sergeant Pepper album again this morning, followed by some Pentangle.

Originally posted by cloughie View PostYes, I tuned in for a short while this morning and that dreadfully drab voiced woman was hosting the show, such a contrast to Georgia who I really liked on EC during the week.

Originally posted by peterthekeys View PostI think Georgia Mann is one of the best of the current team of presenters - closest to the great tradition of presenters who just announced what had been played and what was about to be played, and then got out of the way.
1. Those who have a (generally agreed) pleasant broadcasting manner and know what they're talking about
2 a. (joint) those who have a (generally agreed) pleasant broadcasting manner but who know little about what they're required to talk about
2 b. (joint) those have a (generally agreed) poor broadcasting manner but are very knowledgeable
4. Those who sound awful/irritating and know nothing.
I mention no names as people seem to get very shirty when you criticise their faves.

I have been listening more to both weekday Breakfast and Essential Classics since the lockdown began. My basis for a comparison may not be too sound, but I have the impression that a different kind of rapport has formed between Petroc and his audience and between Skellers and his (I didn't listen to Suzy on EC). Hard to put a finger on it, but PT seems more relaxed at the microphone somehow, and IS has refined his inclusive style a bit.
