I can confirm what Mark Dowding says. The only reason I have started to listen to Radio Stoke occasionally is because I like listening to Genevieve Tudor's excellent Radio Shropshire folk programme, which also goes out on Radio Stoke.She doesn't half play some crap records, but she introduces them so well!
People's loyalty to radio stations adds up slowly, doesnt it? You like one bit, then you get used to some other stuff, eventually you listen all day. I'm a Radio 4 man. Because I actually like the Archhers, Today, Woman's Hour and Desert Island Discs, I am even prepared to listen to all those old farts whining about their pension funds and gallstones all day.Though I draw a line at desperately unfunny things put on at 6.30PM to try out new public school writers and actors.
