FM radio
The past few weeks, I've been listening to Radio Mirchi and Suryan FM for an hour each daily. It looks like a lot of research goes into an hour of Radio. Be it Suchitra's morning hour-long show on Mirchi or the filmy-gossip related show in the evening on Suriyan, I wonder how much work goes into a show. Suchitra especially does a great job of discussing contemporary topics and also giving useful information about these topics, interspersing all this with a rather good collection of film songs. For example, the day 12th results were to be declared she chose to speak about alternative career opportunities - and she concentrated on opportunities in the airlines sector, got a few air-hostesses to give their opinions. Nice!
Being an avid fan of Frasier, I wonder sometimes if a psychatrist-on-call would work in the Indian context. Sure we have lots of problems in our lives. And in any case, ensuring anonymity shouldnt be a problem. The only problem I foresee is that radio is probably not seen as a "serious" medium. Its the fun element that entertains people, and I doubt if any radio station would like to take this risk.

Stop posting on FM stations please!! If there is one thing that I hate about Bangalore, its the goddamn FM (though you would point out a lot more things!). I am subjected to such torture everyday listening to crappy Hindi and English songs.
Please please dont rub it in with posts on Suryan FM and Mirchi. Ah..those classic songs.
