@fmf saidFour thumbs down for this one so far. Come now, it's just a radio show, albeit a good radio show, no need to get excited. Or better still, try to muscle up a bit and tell us what you're so offended by.

@fmf saidI can't remember the song now but this makes sense, I know its a radio technique to slowly cut away from the music missing the end of the song sometimes, i was just never a fan of that. Really good show though, will give the others a listen when I have Wi-Fi again.
Which song was that? It might have been a Mixcloud streaming glitch. In the main body of the programme - where all the Onions are [the microfictions] - the songs are mostly truncated and faded out so that you get about 150 seconds of music followed by 75 seconds of storytelling, and so on.
@trev33 saidThere are about 42-44 minutes available for 10x stories [because the last quarter of an hour is dedicated to Phil and Paula's "reality saga"] meaning the 10 selected songs need to be about 3 minutes (on average). I don't want to restrict the pool of music I draw upon to songs which aren't longer than 3 mins.

Therefore in some cases, the music heard is maybe only verse-chorus, twice, leaving out maybe the 3rd verse-chorus. Sometimes only half the song is played. Sometimes the middle eight - or a section with an instrumental solo - is seized upon as an opportunity to bail out.
It's not ideal, sure enough. But reducing the show to only 7, 8 or 9 stories doesn't feel like the right formula.
@indonesia-phil saidI think the thumbs are coming from people who have the mentality of posters like Relentless Red [regardless of whether he himself has actually bothered to thumb it down on this occasion].

His mentality appears to be to "trash" - and endorse "trashing" - the radio show with "justifiable" thumbs down - because he has a big chip on his shoulder - but then accuse the programme-makers themselves of somehow "trashing" their own show!

@indonesia-phil saidA trench? Why are there still trenches on Celebes? It's hardly as if we are still there for them to hide from!
I'm down in a trench somewhere in Sulawesi....
@shallow-blue saidIt has to do with a first stone.
