Fair enough John. I have been going by my initial reaction to press reports of Tom's show.

I'm intrigued enough to give it a go when I can.

A understandable view but in my opinion not fair.  Tom is his own man and puts together a fine show.  30 (now 45) minutes is not long, but I like the wide range of music, and his links which combine lots of information with a wry sense of humour. As he relaxes (or gets more airtime) he might even reduce the speed of delivery from 100 words a minutes to something more normal.  But you can't have it all.

I must confess that I have not listened to Tom's broadcasts. This is .. also because I have a basic problem with taking Tom's musical taste seriously largely because he bears the brandname 'Peel'. To me this reminds more of hereditary monarchy than meritocracy.
