Hi Nick if you are going to the BBC Radio 2 in Shropshire I heard about you!!!
I would ask what is involved with producing a show.
How many people do this.
How long does it take - from start to finish.
Do they have an idea and then add in with the current days events or do they schedule all of it prior to the day.
What was the most obscure music/record/song they were ever asked to play.
When they left school did they think this is where they would end up working.
What happens to retired DJ's?
What format do they keep all their music on now?
Are all the shows recorded and stored and if so where?
Are there any special properties the studio has i.e is it sound proofed as well as shielded in any way from other interference of radio stations nearby.
Does a modern presenter load his own music, adverts and station commercials or does someone else do this for him/her?
How do you decide what music to play? Do you have a computer randomly select a variety or use a selection menu to get the list of what you are going to play?
What has been YOUR most embarrassing interview and why?
I could go on for ages! Have fun and enjoy! Oh and don't forget to post the link here for us when you have had you time with them! I'd love to see how you got on........!!! (BBC listen again link that is!)

My questions would deal a lot with the history. When did the BBC radio begin, in the beginning was it world news, did it start as a shortwave radio station? Then get into the future of the BBC Radio. Do they feel broadcasting via radio will be around for much longer with the ability to broadcast on the internet. How many listeners do they currently have? Etc. Good luck.

Do you as worldwide public media feel that there is a travesty of gargantuan proportions by the bbc endorsing a royal family that is of no serious benefit to the UK or the rest of the world and whose plans include endorsing the voracious attacking of nationals on thier own foreign soils and excusing the collateral damage of innocent civilians killed?

My question would be "although we pay a licence fee so that we don't have to put up with advertising, why do you continue to put out adverts for your own programs for minutes on end therefore making it no different to a commercial station in terms of time spent advertising ?" It infuriates me and many others.

Well it all depends on if its a national station or regional, if it was a regional one i'd ask:Do you have any listeners besides the local taxi driver!!!
If it was a national i'd ask: How much do you get paid!
LOL
