Poll - Who listens to "The Verb"?

[Lateralthinking1]

I'd be grateful if you would take the time to post a message indicating how often you listen to "The Verb". You just need to pick a letter:

A. Always or nearly always.

or

B. Sometimes.

or

C. Only very occasionally or never.

[DracoM]

C > D- = never.

Serious poetry on R3 has been virtually killed off by this ghastly programme - remember R3? Site of world premiere of Under Milk Wood et al? Yes, that R3?

If it was fronted by someone with genuine reputation in the poetry world as opposed to a self-promoting 'funny man', professional Yorkshireman [ and I am a Yorkshireman] , it might well recover, but not as presently constituted.

[Norfolk Born]

C (to be more precise, C- or D+).
If I want to listen to poetry, there's always 'Poetry Please'.

[VodkaDilc]

I do not know what The Verb is, so I must be C.

[french frank]

I'm very much afraid - C

This is mainly due to the fact that on the few occasions when I did listen it was too jokey; 'new writing' included such items as performance by obscure singer-songwriters and pub poets; features like 'eartoons' (audio cartoons) fell flat as far as I was concerned; on the occasions when I spotted what I thought would be more substantial and literary (discussion on the poetry of Geoffrey Hill) it was superficial.

I think its principal aim seems to be to entertain where I would prefer a programme that informed and educated, and which distinguished what is important/influential from what is merely 'new'.
