I am really enjoying this show. A very special expeirence. A great initiative and very generous of Lou and Hal to share their time with us. I'm also a long term fan of the Planet.

I am feeling very inspired by their choice of music. Radio can be worth listening to after all. But was very annoyed that when the Perth band Tame Impala was chosen to be played they were cut off and cut out (Friday end of programme). I wanted to hear them and think they are a great new talent. Just because they are not from New York doesn't mean they can't be great. Shame on radio national for cutting them off.
