Proper, long form journalism which can be committed to a public archive. That's what public service broadcasting is. Not playing Mariah Carey songs and asking 'What's that noise?'. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why (other than their typical Friday evening alcohol-influenced angry posting) some are mocking this comment. I think you're correct.

It could have done with another draft as there was a few colloquialisms in the voice-over that cheapened it, but it was very well produced and the presenter was engaging. People would happily pay for that kind of thing. Manx Radio should be doing more of it. Whilst you're right to congratulate Aaron for his programme I suspect that only a handful of people would be prepared to pay directly for ANY radio programme.
