I remember Clive's shows with fondness and well recall the first caller of the night.
I suspect Iain is suffering from talkRADIO still not having the widest listenership, so the show is still more likely to be steered by 'hardcore' regulars. I think that's fine to a point, but I go back to what I said earlier, that it could be in danger of tipping over into sounding like a private show for a clique, without new blood at some point.
That said, Iain has fast become my first choice at bedtime now. But I do agree about wanting to hear the 'normal' people.
