Look, it's Ian's show and he can do what he wants with it. The only question is will he loose more listeners than he gains by a "change" in show format. Any change will result in some people leaving and other new listeners tuning in. Only Ian will be able to make the decision as to which way he wants the show to go. It has grown a great deal with the current format of being a liberty oriented show with some shock topics and that is what I want to hear (I think I am in agreement with most of the current audience in this perspective). If it turns into a ladies talk show and some greater percentage of the subjects turn to "feelings" and "kittens" and such, many of the existing audience will leave. The only question to Ian is will he gain enough women to replace them?
It's his call, I'm just voicing my opinion here to give him my perspective as a long time listener. If knowing the opinions of the listeners is not important to him, then he doesn't need to read this and none of us needs to continue this thread...
