I've been an avid listener to audio podcasts and FDR contributor for a while now. I'd like to contribute towards Stefan improving his call-in shows. Please let me know if it's not the right place to share this feedback, or if it's only me who feels this. Almost every time Stefan ends a conversation with a caller, he'll says something like: "Mike, who do we have next?". There's nothing's wrong with saying that, except that maybe it should be preceded by a conventional "thank you" and/or "bye bye" exchange. I feel that ending of a seemingly ongoing phone discussion (audio only) without an appreciative verbal hand-off can leave an impression of disrespect, which I know is not the case with Stefan, but still that's my perception every time. I know Stefan thanks everyone a lot in a general way, but since perception is reality and for new listeners out there, I thought that maybe some sort of polite { "Thank you for calling" - wait for the reply - "bye bye" - wait for the reply } process at the end of each conversation would be beneficial to not leave the impression of cutting them off and being rude. It may be tricky if some callers hang on to the discussion, but in most cases, it would leave a positive impression. I may be wrong, maybe there's no other way than to dry-cut it. ____________________"Mike, who do we have next?"_______________________ :-) Or maybe not... Just food for thoughts. Regards, Pat
