  • Show has gone backwards

    Used to be a good show but now has minimal current affairs- where is Terry Barnes? Get Steve Price in as a regular contributor

  • Boring drive show

    It would be nice if the drive segment would concentrate on car reviews & the latest releases other than almost an entire show taken up with trivial pothole and road issues. I wasted an hour of my life last night listening to dribble.
