Good selection, but . . . I'm sure it's imposed by Radio 3 producers, but she sounded throughout like she was reading off a script.

The best music radio is live, or if recorded then done as live in one take with no script, a few scribbled note at best, so as presenter you're listening to, reacting to, pulled into the music and then having a conversation with the listener.

I think Andy Kershaw falls into this category too, and I'm not sure which way he does his Monday night slots - has anybody seen him in action doing his show?
