Of course

According to commissioning notes seen by The Times, BBC bosses are trying to make Radio 3 more accessible.

New guidance says that presenters shouldn't use "presumptuous phrases" like "of course", "we all know that", "we all presume that" and "and so forth".

Moreover:

Ideally, presenters should not be experts. “They should feel like they are sharing their experience, offering their enthusiasms and recommendations but not lecturing,” the brief states.

A Radio 3 spokeswoman says: “We’re always looking for different ways to welcome as many people as possible to the high-quality arts and classical programming. You don’t need to be an expert to tune in.”

So brace yourselves:

Bom Bom Bommmmmm. (long pause). That was the Erotica Symphony by...(pause. Checks notes)...Ludwig von Beethoven. I enjoyed that, and I hope you did too. It slipped down nicely with a cup of coffee and a hobnob here in the studio. While we were listening to it I got a very interesting text from a loyal listener, Paul, who tells me that 2020 is the 250th anniversary of the birth of von Beethoven. I didn't know that, did you? Happy birthday Ludwig. You're listening to Radio 3 Brunch, I'm Ash Sarkar, and the time is...(pause)...10.23. Now, what have we got next? A song by Schubert...is he the same as Schumann?...It's called Du Bist die Ruh. Wonder what that means in English? If any of you know, please text us at @BBCRadio3Brunch. 

*******

Who needs satire though? Here's The Times again:

The guidance makes clear that Sunday Feature, Radio 3’s weekly documentary series, is aimed at a “general arts audience” and must not presume audience knowledge. The programme has built a reputation for heavyweight documentaries on figures such as Richard Wagner and Albert Camus but is now looking for pitches on contemporary preoccupations such as “technology, Asia and identity politics". 

"...and identity politics"! You couldn't make it up.
