As i get older i'm more and more pleased that i grew up in the era of the radio. I'm sure it helped with concentration and provided loads of opportunities to use your imagination and create wonderful pictures in your mind as stories unfolded.
I'm really pleased that spoken radio seems to be making a bit of a comeback, although music radio is insufficiently broad in its offerings. Far too much of it is the same old music. There are far too few opportunities to listen to different music, giving people the chance to find 'new music'. Radio 3's late junction http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/is a rare example of such an opportunity and radio 6 is not too bad.
But on balance it is still 'spoken radio' that i enjoy most. If only there was more choice. I;m not clear whether channel 4's venture into radio will include spoken radio or not.
