gladdens my heart and reconnects me with my dear friends. The beauty of the shout is the short history it saves, allowing you to sense the day's vibe. It also allows the "theme of the day" request idea to work, if we're so inclined. Personally, the themes were one of my favorite aspects of the station, as it allowed the collective creativity of the listeners to shine. It also prompted people to pick unfamiliar songs, just to fit the theme.
Thank you Roger & Vax for using the simplest & most effective way of combatting the over-requesting situation (i.e., ban the problem child). It seemed to start on the heels of the 5th Anniversary party. I often wondered if it was a jealous competitor that was the guilty party. No evidence, just a thought.
See everyone in the shout!
