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.

The intrusive and excessive trailers are a whole other issue, but again not, I would suggest, the fault of the presenter?

As far as I'm concerned, the individual characteristics of each presenter are the least important irritating features of the programmes they present, whether Breakfast or Essential Classics. Rather it's the format of the programmes themselves, involving so much chat of various types and playing only segments of entire pieces, that is so irritaing. I just want programmes to focus on the music, with the chat content kept to a minimum, more like the way it used to be years ago. But this is not going to happen. Since no presenter can offset the disadvantages of the current set-up, I don't bother trying to listen to any of the programmes live as I find them to be so frustrating.

Not sure what I think about that - it seems to make the 'tokenism' idea stronger: we know this isn't really how things are.
Could this keen interest have possibly generated the call to Mrs Drm ...... ????

As for the references to 'crawling up to the highest octaves of enthusiasm' and 'squeaky gasps of astonishment', I heard the conversation in question and your description strikes me as both exaggerated and (coming the day after IWD) unfortunately gender-prejudiced.
