Exactly. Most of the folks on Bob's little list there have proved that they can hold no one's attention but their own. I can count at least 5 and possibly ten spots on that list that would entice me, for one, to listen to a looped recording of my dialup modem connecting rather than tune in to Radio FR.
Good radio sounds easy even though it isn't. I do a weekly show and whether you think it's ok or you think it sucks doesn't matter; it is *not* easy and it's *very* time consuming. We're not talking about people who have STAFF here; we're talking about ordinary folks who work a regular job to pay the bills.
I don't have interesting guests hammering my telephone for ear-time and neither do the regulars on RadioFR so that means a lot of scrounging and research that would ordinarily be done by STAFF at a commercial station. A 10:1 ratio of prep to air-time is not out of line for a good show. These are not sports shows where people can babble endlessly about nothing and there's always more nothing to talk about.
Far be it from me to suggest that the ladies wouldn't be up to a more frequent show; but it would be nicer if you made a suggestion for your favorite show with a smile instead of wise-cracks from your arm-chair about the shows you don't like. This entire operation runs virtually as a philanthropy for everybody involved except the listeners and the hosts are hardly in a position to act as philanthropists, myself included. If you want to see any particular show succeed, it would be more productive to make your criticisms known to the appropriate parties responsible for RadioFR privately.
