Donna from Le Pas, Manitoba

Dear Phil Liz and Lucy...

Brushing my kitty that is full of fur, I am apalled at the interpretation of a woman's voice. Why can't you find real women to do the female parts of your scripts, instead of acting grubby and re-enacting a voice similar to an American with a pole shoved up his butt?

Must I remind you that I do remember a time when you did have women in your broadcast, and I want the full Monty... okay the full Monique, in having women participate in your sorry broadcast.

Please take my kind consideration seriously and with focus.

Sincerely,
Donna from Le Pas, Manitoba

Rhonda from No Fixed Address

Dear Phil Liz and Lucy...

As you know, time is of the essence. However, see to the fact that you have released only one segment this week, I must say. You are a hypocrite!

Of course, I sent you around seven letters complaining about this so far. This explains why you don't answer to listener mail that frequently. This morning, a messenger arrived at my door, handing me a restraining order that tells me not to approach any of you within 100 metres of me.

I don't get your game. I love you guys! Don't forget to say Hi when I park my mobile home in front of your door!

Sincerely,
Rhonda, Travelling across this great country.

Richard from Waterloo, Ontario

Dear Phil Liz and Lucy...

Consider this. In mainstream radio, there is always the dedicated duo or trio that works on the prestigious morning show.

Quite recently in a major Canadian city, a very popular duo was sacked by a greedy radio station because their ratings had dropped. The public gave the decision hell and eventually one of the two that wasn't dumped was put back in the morning show chair amongst high ratings.

Do not dare or do the same, Phil Liz and Lucy owners. Not that I like you guys to that point, but if you guys are really THAT good no one should fire you. Annoy the hell out of them!

Sincerely,
Richard from Waterloo, Ontario

Italians who don't know Italian.

A "Dear Phil Liz and Lucy" scrutinization.

Now that we've given you a little listener feedback in the form of "fan mail", we will now show you a more scrutinizing side of Dear Phil Liz and Lucy.

On the twelth page of "Brand New Planet", which is a publication published to children by the Toronto Star, there is an article about the Olympics. It's called "Italiano -- Get ready for Turin with some Italian words of the week".

Ten useful Italian expressions to know is part of this article, and the first expression says:

Io sono Canadese/Americana.

The paper believes this means "I am Canadian". As you can see, "Americana" is more than likely the Italian word for American. So why did they print "Americana"?

Keep in mind Italians may understand 'Americana better than Canadese'

So you're telling me, you don't understand your own language? That's basically what the paper's saying.

Are you sure, Toronto Star, that the Italians don't understand their own language? It seems that the Toronto Star thinks that we are Americans eh?

Well! I'm Phillip Hong!

Tammy from Little Rock, Arkansas

Dear Phil Liz and Lucy...

I must say that your show is behind the times. If you hadn't noticed already, you are behind the times. Radio comedy is dead. In a world where everything can be downloaded at your fingertips, you are certainly not trendy.

For example, I assume your segment MoveMania is based on that dance song from 1995. 1995! That's over 10 years ago! Are you sure you are trying to cater to today's young adults, or trying to bring in the era of Bill Clinton again?

I don't believe you guys are even teenagers. You certainly sound a lot more older.

How can I believe you?

Sincerely,
Tammy from Little Rock, Arkansas

Janette from Wollongong, New South Wales

Dear Phil Liz and Lucy...

I am an Aussie currently vacationing in Toronto. Canada is a marvellous place when you see different corners of it, but that is where the compliments end.

I would like to know - why do you not provide information on how and where to go in your Move Mania segments? You boast your travel segment as the 'Lonely Planet' of radio, yet, you do not tell your audiences how to go and where to go.

Of course, the Lonely Planet television series doesn't provide you these details either. And then you are an entertainment programme. Well, keep up the good work then.

Sincerely,
Janette from Wollongong, New South Wales

Tristan from Schomberg, Ontario

Dear Phil Liz and Lucy...

Thank you for making me become environmentally conscious.

One day, at the Upper Canada Mall in Newmarket, I was eating at the Food Court.

Phil came to me and told me "Hey! You can put your plastic plate in the recycling bin, you know." Then, he explained to me that garbage is not good for Mother Earth and that global warming would kill us if I didn't help.

So I have educated myself on the subject, and I would like to say Thank You.

Sincerely,
Tristan from Schomberg, Ontario
