I think the only way you could improve the show would be to give us 6 hours daily "live from Greenwich"

Thinking back, I can't recall where I learned of the show. I clicked on something, on some site .... Looking at the websites I commonly do, I don't see links to it. More advertising? Some webpage tradeoffs for clickable links?

What you do best is the mobility and flexibility - if there is a hot topic of the day, you are on it within 24 hours, usually with the principals involved.

And your ability to discuss sensitive issues with those people, without intimidating or threatening to trap them, so that they open up and discuss rather freely. Trust and honesty. Breeds more openness within the industry. And we get to hear more than is often reported in press

The BC coverage was can't miss. I agree would love to hear more from the owners. Learning personalities, and small details often dropped in casual conversation, is priceless.

I like every time you have a less-well-known trainer on, especially after he/she has a good day with a nice win. More national exposure for these guys is great! I like visiting the "smaller" tracks.

The one thing about the show that makes it step up into the elite class of the reporting of a Steve Haskin, for example, is the ability to make the listener feel a true "insider" in the sport.

Heck, maybe you could just broadcast 24-hours a day?
