Reader's End Of Year Poll 2009 - Best Radio Show

• 1 Bob Harris Saturday   As if it could be anything else - the nation of Americana lovers’ favourite DJ by a (literal) country mile as always occupies the top two spots.  The shows never of course get tired, and indeed he spoke to us of course earlier in the year and proved beyond doubt what a lovely guy he is.  Danny Baker was perhaps a surprise entry into our top 5, although even more surprising was Radio 4’s Today show which got nudged out of the number 5 spot by one vote.

This is completely wonderful.
Every now and again something comes along to make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.
This is it.

The Sandy Denny Story: Who Knows Where The Time Goes has been awarded silver in the Sony Radio Awards.

The judges said: "This was a fascinating and touching portrait of Sandy Denny. A story well told through the unique and empathetic style of the presenter Bob Harris. A comprehensive and well-produced programme."
