Thanks for that (#1094), by the way Osborn. Your brand of grunge irony never fails to raise a smile and occasionally a
"...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..."

Thanks Caliban and MickyD for the warning. From time to time, I am tempted to turn the radio on in the morning but I shall stick to TTN on LA.

....well between 06.30 and 07.00 I was driving through back roads in Yorkshire I didn't know avoiding floods and fallen trees and the delightful SMP was very welcome company. The music was I thought well selected ending as I made it to the Car Park with Britten conducting Bridge's majestic The Sea. The thought of Brendel and Schubert yet to come did make me a touch envious....
However on returning home and finding these attacks by Rumpole and others I listened to the rest on iplayer and found little if anything to scare the horses IMHO one of the best I have heard recently.
Your Call doesn't bother me the lady making lots of babies on a late 70s sofa was maybe the nearest we've had to the mother's funeral episode that caused a Forum outcry.
Today's on the other hand was I found interesting wartime trains, anti smoking and justified acclaim for the North Northumberland coastline what more could you want?

We compare this with a style (which we/I prefer) that puts the focus on the music. Consequence: you have a programme you enjoy and find interesting; I don't listen to it at all.
Your argument, though, doesn't seem to move beyond the point that you enjoy the programme. Against that is the argument that Radio 3 should return to higher intellectual, critical and more searching standards, as having been, from its launch, fundamental to its remit. Whether I, an individual listener, ever come back to listen to it is irrelevant. It is (I believe) a service which the BBC should provide; instead it is popularising its content to attract a wider audience. In fact, it is on the way to becoming a variant of every other popular radio station, which happens to play classical music. In which case, why not, say, jazz?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.
