"I've been listening for about 10 years…I'm sorry it's taken me this long to write and say how much I enjoy your programme every week. Having worked in nursing homes and community centres, sometimes with people who couldn't string together a reasonable
sentence in conversation anymore, it's amazing to see the same people have something light up inside them whenever they'd hear your show. I've moved on from that work now, but happen to know that many of these places still listen in every Tuesday, and I want to thank you also then, for not providing just another radio show, but in a funny way, it's like a community service, particularly for these older people. May I make a request"
- Jason
