Jeremy Phillips was a little harsh on JoAnne Goode (Letters, December 11).

I discovered her only in the past three months, having been persuaded to drop breakfast TV by friends in favour of BBC Southern Counties Radio.

Some of her comments I find bizarre - I do not share her interests in the latest yoga position or why she cannot park her car where she wants when she wants - but she is vivacious, assertive, forthright, provocative and, above all else, passionate about Brighton and Hove.

I wish I had a fiver for every time she says "We're running a little behind schedule right now" because she has hooked on to something or someone really interesting.

In short, I have become a JoAnne junkie. You go, girl!
