I completely agree with that. The large amount of people in the chatroom made it difficult for anyone else to log on, and also made it difficult to follow the very fast chat flow.

My constructive criticism for the 8th February Radio Show

First off, there's no doubting Ash has kissed the Blarney Stone and that she has a very natural way of chatting to callers and putting them at ease. That really is a talent that she ought to be able to put to good use on a bigger stage. Secondly, she has a good sense of humour and does a paticularly good line in self-deprecation.

Obviously Ash didn't have the time to do any real planning for this show and we should be grateful that she managed to turn up at all. Nevertheless, it seemed to run a lot smoother than last week. Imagine how good she would be with proper planning, a good subject for discussion, equipment that's set at the right sound levels, a phone that works properly, and an audience that has something to say.

Although the swearing doesn't particularly bother me, it is not something she would get away with on national radio these days and if Ash wants to progress to a bigger stage, she needs to learn to cut that out. I've never been a fan of prank calls but doing them live on air is just asking for trouble in this regard.

Idea for a guest next week - a paparazzi photographer. Talk about press intrusion, relationship between celebs and press, celebs I have papped, what makes a good photo, etc, etc. 

And I have a music request - I'd like to hear anything by ODM and her man (come on Izzy, send in a tape or a CD, don't be shy!).

As a PS to my previous post, I agree that we need another way of communicating with Ash about the radio show. An e-mail address at Invincible would be the obvious answer. However as ofni and I suggested last week, this forum could be put to use as well if we have advanced notice of who the guest is going to be.

How about a messages and dedications thread for the show as well? 

A new section of this forum has now been set-up. We'll bring the requests and third radio show threads to the attention of the appropriate people. Hopefully, some posts might be read out on air, as the chatroom is currently having difficultly coping with the number of people.

I agree with ofni. I made the suggestion on another thread that a good guest for Ash would be a paparazzi photographer. Let's face it she has the contacts.

Another idea, perhaps, is to have a journalist from More magazine or one of the photographers or stylists from one of Ash's photoshoots.

The best thing to do in the first few weeks is to stick to subjects she's comfortable with. She could even get a couple of friends from the promo world to talk about life as a promo girl. I bet once they got going they would come up with some interesting stories.

And if Ash didn't keep giving these pop stars the brush off, she could try to get one of them on. A good opportunity coming up at the Brits to get someone to agree to come on the show, particularly after they've had a few!

It would be useful to post the Invincible telephone number on the forum btw.

The music tracks would have to be edited out first for copyright reasons, like the Big Brother FM podcasts. A bit difficult with Aisleyne's "interrupt the track at random intervals" style.

However, it is an interesting idea.

You're both right. The radio show could get more people listening than just Aisleyne fans, if the right guests and themes were chosen.

The Internet dating topic from the first show was a good idea, but a lot of people on the phones and chatroom were only interested in talking about BB7 (understandable given it was her first show).
