Review of #1184 You Asked For It 80
Great Program for Building Mature Listener Loyalty. This special out of David Miller's long-running (since 1983) quality weekly program (Swinging Down the Lane) is one that I would suggest might be well-placed on Saturday nights or Sunday afternoons following Garrison Keeler's Praire Home Companion.
The host and the information and music he presents makes for an enlightening and entertaining program that the whole family can enjoin together and discuss during and after the program. The voice of Host David Miller has a fatherly warmth similar to that of Chuck Cecil which presents a good American image to listeners from all parts of the world. His attention to detail and careful and varied pacing is exemplary for public radio.
