The powers that be would like to broadcast a repeat of my radio show each week. Which is either quite a compliment or could mean they're desperate to fill gaps in the schedule.No, can't possibly be that...! I'd also like the opportunity to syndicate the show more widely and clearly to do both of these things successfully the programme needs a new name that isn't tied to a particular day of the

I'm not a fan of reality TV or talent shows and I find Simon Cowell's persona (and trousers) so unattractive that I don't usually watch his programmes. But after seeing the phenomenon that is Susan Boyle on Britain's Got Talent last weekend and online via pretty much every world-wide media outlet this week, I've had to adjust my attitude. What is it about Susan Boyle that's made her admittedly

I don't know what it is about the People's Plinth and Anthony Gormley's idea that I like so much, but like it I do.Anthony Gormley is an artist, sculptor, all-round man of the people and best known (I guess) as the designer of Angel of the North, the immense open-armed metal structure, modelled on himself, that towers above the A1 and welcomes travellers to Gateshead and Tyneside.

As Festivals Director I've become somewhat concerned by comments made in response to the ValeFest music project's first pilot festival, Winterval, which as regular readers will know, took place in and around the Vale of Belvoir at the end of January.It feels like the committee is expected to deliver perfect events from the outset, without being given space or time to test ideas and, more
