What am I going to listen to now?

Last week was the last episode of The Now Show, well at least until April.
It can be heard at the above link until 12:30 tomorrow.

Particularly contravertial was Marcus Brigstocke's routine, at least according to Radio 4's Feedback. Marcus has a 1 year old son, and his routine was a commentary on the dilemmas he is facing over the MMR jab. Many of the feedback comments seemed to me to come from people who hadn't listened to the sketch.

One point seemed to me to be that he was making fun out of those who based arguments on emotion rather than science. If indeed he was I would applaud him, as I belive such emotive types deserve derision, however to my ears the piece was actually more balanced towards such people than I would have liked. But Marcus is right to take the line he has, he has children I don't so can easily argue in a more detached way.
