I've had enough of that with some of the shows.

You don't really need a mandated theme to have varied requests. You don't even need to have a theme - a suggestion is helpful, maybe.

Give the Aural Moon listeners some credit - left to their own devices, things work out pretty good.

As for the "vapid" comment, sometimes I'll have a show like that but I tend to shy away from them. the artists played drive the theme, not the other way around. A set theme (as you yourself have stated and I agree) is limiting. Again, the music selection is first then the theme, for me.

I'm not going to speak for other shows that employ "themes".
