I don't have time to really answer this carefully right now, but I'll just throw out some quick thoughts. I hope nobody takes any offense from anything I've worded poorly below.


I like the idea of both of the new shows. Could be very interesting.

I am one of those people who find myself wishing shows would be over sooner most of the time. Gags is the worst for two reasons. No song info and time. I listen to the Moon to hear new music (new to me). If I don't know what it is, it doesn't really matter all that much if I like it, since I can never listen to it again. Four hours is a LONG time. it's half of my work day. more importantly, it's the 2nd half of my workday. a lot of my morning requests get lost under the blanket of afternoon (for me) radio shows, because I leave work shortly after Gags is over.

I have the least issues with Moses' show for a lot of reasons. It plays in the morning (for me), so I don't miss my requests because of it. It's short. It has song info. I tend to like most of what Moses plays, so that helps too. ;-)

I like a lot of what Rick plays, but he tends to put on 3 hours of one band or of just a couple bands, so if I don't like the band, that's a LONG time before I get to hear something I do like. He plays a wide variety of stuff, so not everyone is going to like all of it. and 3 hours of one band CAN seem like a long time even if you like the band. at least most of what he plays tends to be new or obscure stuff, so that's a big plus.

I like hearing people's requests. Wednesday is a good idea, but I wish it were more scattered across the week instead of one ENTIRE day with no requests. If SAM could be rigged to toss her own songs in every so often on normal days, then you might get a wider audience for that music too. I'm not sure if people tune out on wednesday, but it's sure a lot quieter in the shoutbox on wednesday. it also gets pretty quiet during most of the shows. I think, anyway.
