he sounds very militant and "lefty".
That could be a good thing, couldn't it?

However, he did a "travel" piece about North Korea - the first British journalist to be allowed in for anything so frivolous as "lifestyle" reporting - and he quietly satirised all of NK's shortcomings in a read-between-the-lines way that fooled them so entirely that they even invited him back Smiley

Andy's "travel" pieces have usually been excellent, he's a good journalist as well as having a vast knowledge of music. I found his 2005 Turkmenistan programme to be another fascinating item.

I appreciate that a presenter's voice can be very off-putting - there are certain other R3 people whose voices annoy me but fortunately they're not on every week so I can listen to those programmes selectively. Wink

Of the 3 presenters that R3 have been using regularly on the Monday night programme since AK disappeared last May - Lucy Duran, Charlie Gillett and Mary Ann Kennedy - I would venture that MAK has been the best, though her programmes haven't really got the breadth of music which was present with AK.

If the sanctimonious powers that be could see this-they who re-employ Chris Evans and pay Woss to dip tampons in custard-Kershaw has with this definitively earned the spurs to talk about survivors' music because he will be one himself-the last drop of the effete aspect of Crouch Endism evaporated.
