Reader's End Of Year Poll 2009 - Best Radio Show

• 1 Bob Harris Saturday   As if it could be anything else - the nation of Americana lovers’ favourite DJ by a (literal) country mile as always occupies the top two spots.  The shows never of course get tired, and indeed he spoke to us of course earlier in the year and proved beyond doubt what a lovely guy he is.  Danny Baker was perhaps a surprise entry into our top 5, although even more surprising was Radio 4’s Today show which got nudged out of the number 5 spot by one vote.

Every now and again something comes along to make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.
This is it.
