Thanks for yet more feedback. For avoidance of doubt, I answer every single email I receive via my website, which is many hundreds each week. If it seems like I don't appear that much on chat forums, I certainly put my hours in where communication is concerned. I'm sure you can imagine how long it takes to answer all these emails, something very few dj's do.
With regard to features on the show, I'm mindful that over 30,000 people listen every week via R1's 'on-demand' facility, at any hour of day or night. As such I feel it's important to give a flavour of what's going on in the scene, and not just assume that all my listener base exists on a Friday night. Whilst some folk might only want to hear music, from the feedback I receive there are many people who are interested in hearing what the voices and personalities behind the dj names are like.
I welcome your further comment...
