  • Love the show-bring back the other theme music!

    I thoroughly enjoy the Saturday and Sunday AM chats. I do miss the original theme music, though. It was changed sometime in the last several weeks and it’s nowhere near as good as the original music. The vibe of the original music was just so perfect for this show. But overall, a lovely weekend show.

  • New Song

    Love the show. Make sure I tune in every Sunday, since last year. However, the new theme song is terrible. Please go back to the original. Made the topics being covered more motivational. Keep up the great work though.

I think Tyler Brule‘s question as to why this event disappeared from the media at some point is more than justified. It shows once again that the issue of migration, which affects many people, is simply not wanted by many journalists and in many newsrooms. I would not want to be one of the hostages. B... more

  • Magazine still great but…

    All the non political stuff is great but apart from that, the radio station is now just london centric and Left! And even if the interviewers and interviewees are not British you just KNOW they are just what you’d expect… liberal, city educated, wealthy, creative types but non physically productive (will make a nice carved knife with 1000 folded steel but will hate people who chop down trees)…
