ILV - Request for your help
We turn 100 on 23 December and we’re looking for a killer topic that will keep us talking for a special double-length 10 minutes. We’re also asking for your feedback on the show. For instance:
- What do you think of the photos?
- What do you think of the new voices on the show (Sarah, Simone, Anna and Katie)?
- For that matter, what do you think of the established voices?
- Would you like more biographical information about the speakers?
- Is there someone whose opinions you generally agree/disagree with?
- What do you most like about ILV?
- Is there something you’d like us to change?
- Where do you listen to us from?
We love hearing from listeners on any aspect of the show, so please do leave a comment on this post to let us know what you think 
Alternatively, if you have the means to leave or send audio feedback, we’ll play your thoughts after an episode.

I really like the photos as it’s nice to put names to faces, especially before you build too much of a picture of someone in your head. It also gives a small insight into the personality of that person, I mean who would wear towelling shorts?
I like Katie’s accent and I think she makes good and amusing contributions. Because Katie has a distinct accent it’s easy to know it’s her when she’s talking whereas for the rest of the crew until they’ve been on quite regularly it’s hard to identify it’s them who’s speaking.
I’d like more biographical info on the cast and it would be good to either get their opinions on the other members or have each member write about another member.
I listen from London - originally doing the ‘family support’ thing but now I genuinely enjoy my regular fix :+)
One topic I’d like to see covered is about women working post children. Aside from the argument about the needs of the child, should a woman take the risk of giving up her career to raise children knowing she may then split from her husband. Potentially she can then be left with very few skills with which to return to the market and a far lower earning potential than pre-child. There have been a number of recent, high profile cases of women getting high financial awards (from the court) from their ultra rich husbands. The media have cried ‘money grabber’, when actually these women were very high earners in their own right before agreeing with their partners to forego their career progress for child raising. This is compounded for the more average earning household where even if child maintenance is paid, it’s not going to go too far and certainly won’t provide for 2 households and the man will probably walk away with the greater share.
