Honest Chris I do read your texts

Victoria Derbyshire | 14:08 PM, Thursday, 2 October 2008

I haven't deliberately not read out Chris Evans' texts. Honestly.

In a month we probably receive 80,000. We select clever ones, humourous ones, ones that inject fresh thought or challenge the majority thinking on an issue. It's impossible to read them all out on air.

Sometimes listeners do text to ask why we always ignore their messages. It's not personal I promise. I always broadcast ones that insult me, I never broadcast ones that begin "bet you won't read this out.." or those that praise us.

I do however look at and digest every single one of them.

    Hi

    Here is a topic for consideration.

    Let's do away with MP's !

    MP's are supposed to represent their consituents views at parliament by voting for or against bills brought before them.

    With the advances in modern communications methods we could all present our own views on issues raised in parliament.

    Do not let the practicalities prevent you from discussing the concept!

    regards

    When you write 'we select....' who actually is the we?

    Do you have a panel who decides what messages or calls 'inject fresh thought or challenge the majority thinking of' or is it down to one person.

    Presumably your researchers when they receive comments they type them up along with other observations like signal reception and caller's coherance etc so along with the 80,000 texts a month could all be published on this website whether your adjudicator(s) decide whether they go out on air or not?
