I rarely listen to Mike Harding's 'folk' programme these days, simply because there's so little folk song / music played. I was therefore very pleasantly surprised to hear a really great programme on Wednesday evening. It was only towards the end of the show that I realised it was a request show, ie: a show playing stuff the listening audience actually WANT to listen to, rather than stuff that is chosen (by the presenter?) for us.

Perhaps the Beeb should ask their listeners (= their customers) what they want to listen to more often and we'd get more great programmes.

On the other hand, I've listened to stuff from all over the world and in my humble opinion find that the BBC is the best.

Cheers all!
