But, of course, if you are now employing (some) presenters who don't know as much as (some) listeners, they will need help - though lacking presenters with much knowledge, one would have still hoped the producers would be able to fill the gap adequately (the vaunted 'trusted guides') …
But if that is no longer even the aim... People who already have more rigorous expectations don't really want a programme for which they're expected to be the unpaid programme creators for 'new' listeners. Surely?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 alycidon View PostThank you for your kind remarks, Ferney, but I am willing to bet that there are others who are far, far more badly affected than I am. At least I can forget about it for great chunks of the day. The hyperacusis though, is something else. I can't tolerate loud noises of any description. But at the age of 72 I'm not complaining - I have so many other things in life for which to be thankful, and I can hear and enjoy music.
I think your response is lovely.

Glad to hear it's a nuisance, aly, rather than as debilitating as it can be. (And it could be a LOT worse than not being able to hear the presenter "chatter"!)[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]

These sections on Breakfast where listeners are invited to send in their favourite music on "water" or "travel" or heaven help us "the tingle factor" and then are all grouped together somewhere within the BBC website maze (I've looked and can't find anything) - just what is the point? Why would anyone think "ooh, I need to check out the "tingle factor" music collection or pieces of music featuring water on the BBC"?
Surely, it's a simple exercise in listener's requests which has taken over from the phone-in? Nothing more.O Wort, du Wort, das mir Fehlt!
