Does anyone at Radio 3 actually read this forum or are we just blowing in the wind? I always want to shake someone and make them take notice.

Originally posted by oddoneout View PostSaturdays used to be R3 free from mid/late afternoon on as I wasn't keen on the cinema music slot, and opera is not my thing, but now it's just about the whole day off. Record Review used to be listened to quite a lot just out of general interest and the chance to pick up bits of information but the changes failed to keep my attention. The 'exciting new programmes' were either just a complete turn off(This classical life) or too often a disappointment in the 'missed opportunity'(Inside Music) stakes, so that rules out the rest of the day. EA doesn't irritate me as much as it does many on here but I don't actually enjoy either her presenting or her music choices(listened to in the spirit of OK now I've heard that I don't need to listen again) that much, so it isn't what I would call listening. Coupled with rubbish TV on a Saturday it's very much an 'amuse yourself' day. Not so much of an issue B4CV19, when I could fill the time quite easily out and about, but more of a problem now when weather and restrictions mean confined to quarters. I have plenty I could do, but there are occasions, especially when health issues are intrusive, when a bit of no-effort distraction is welcome."...the isle is full of noises,

Originally posted by Nick Armstrong View PostMore or less agreed. Record Review still gets a listen; and depending on the ‘host’, Inside Music can be a good listen (there a have been a few good ones lately). I enjoy Sound of Cinema downloaded during cycling constitutionals in the Park. Otherwise, yes Saturday is a no-go area for live R3 listening
Too demanding, me.

Same applies as to comments above re: Martin Handley - a trained musician usually gives valuable insights & choices, even if it’s in a ‘favourite tunes’ context - if it’s in a musical genre I’m into.
Too narrow-minded, me!"...the isle is full of noises,

Originally posted by french frank View PostI had forgotten. I had one to be polite, but you, churlishly, refused! That was when we were both waiting for each other in Pizza Express while sitting on opposite sides of a pillar, both thinking the other wasn't going to turn up and we'd have to beard the lion alone.

Actually, I think you inflated our importance it was CR3, not the DG, wasn't it.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.
