What are the particular problems you are having?<br><br>If you are exposing the politicians to callers, you might find they are 'too busy' to come on the show. A way around this is to give them emails from listeners in advance which they can choose to answer on air, thereby circumventing any embarrassing confrontations.<br><br>Not all the parties we invited came up but as long as I had proof they were invited, we were covered.<br><br>Fari<br><br><br><br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.faribradley.co.uk" style="color: rgb(64, 127, 0); font-weight: bold;">Fari sound</a><br><br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Er/SixPillarsToPersia/%7E6/2"><img

<div>Dear Colleagues,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I hope you can help!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For 6 months we have been trying without success to get a regular local
politics show on the air - and although there is lots of enthusiasm from
councillors and party leaders at talk level, we can't seem to actually pin
anything down and get it started!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is anybody else having similar difficulties?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We have a passionate and knowledgeable presenter waiting to get it started
- but we just can't seem to get the thing going!! </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you are running a successful local politics show - please can you offer
any advice on how you got it off the ground?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm very conscious that the elections will soon be dominating the headlines
and I'd like to get this sorted sooner rather than later! Any help will be most
gratefully received!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Many thanks, and have a lovely weekend.</div>
