I am glad you want to straighten things out Lizzie.

None of the people I know who present folk radio shows or have done so in the past, had experience of radio presentation. This would include BBC Radio Sheffield, BBC Radio Derby, BBC Radio Newcastle, etc from the BBC and Metro Radio, and Radio Hallam from the commercial sector. And virtually all the presenters on community radio. I applied on Monday and started work on Friday.

Whilst Jim Causley had experience in other fields, as far as I am aware he sent in an audition tape and got the job from there. Much as I suggested you should do.

The reason broadcasters do that is because it is easier to get hold of someone with enthusiasm and knowledge and teach them to broadcast than the other way around. So given a properly researched and produced programme as an audition tape, you would have stood a good chance. Remarkably you probably still do - though getting Shropshire Bedlams into the studio to morris dance might not be regarded as your best idea.

You were banned from the BBC message board - not the BBC, indeed I seem to remember you were on one of their programmes recently talking about your mother-in-law and her bathing problems. And since you tell us (incorrectly) that you are banned from the BBC why do you telephone and email them as you have told us you do in this thread. So as usual - it is round spherical objects.

You were banned from the BBC message board for harassing other board members and BBC staff and obsessive spammy postings about your favourite artists. So stop trying to reinvent yourself as some sort of social crusader that the BBC was determined to silence, rather than the hysterical, obsessive nuisance that you are.

I am not a teacher though I was once a lecturer. You know nothing about the way I used to teach - suffice it to say the mature students on access courses that I spent most of my time with kept me on my toes. I lasted twenty years at that. Most of them - and many with dyslexia like you - went on to achieve degrees - and one is now a university lecturer. Not bad for a former crane driver in a steel works I would think.

The "homework" as you refer to it was a genuine offer to help you put together a radio programme. Anyone reading the post can see that. Had you decided to try and do that you may or may not have achieved the objective you supposedly care about - getting this music out to a wider audience so that artists can be heard by more people.

You are perfectly entitled to do things your way - but it is clear from all your other posts that it achieves nothing - indeed I seem to remember a number of artists telling you to button it.

Believe it or not I and others love this music as much as you do and are determined that we help it reach as wide an audience as possible.

We'll carry on. What a pity you can't be bothered to put some work into it like everyone else does.
