Past Features
- I Want to Be Adored: A caller was asked a series of questions by Geoff and the symposium then told the caller what they thought of him/her. Listeners were encouraged to text in either 'pass' or 'fail', depending on whether or not they liked the person, with Annabel then reading the percentages out and determining whether the person is or is not liked and loved by general society. A prize was given whether the caller is loved or not, for going through such an ordeal. The theme tune was "I Want to Be Loved by You" by Marilyn Monroe. This feature was dropped in January 2009.
- A Pause for Port: Annabel tells a story about a song she listened to earlier that day. The story begins nicely, but Annabel then starts to analyse the lyrics and draw negatives from them, with the story normally ending with how she would engage in some sort of self-harm rather than listen to the song again. Geoff then plays the aforementioned song. This feature was discontinued in July 2009.
- The Big I Am...: Carried over from Geoff's old evening show, a feature where listeners have to text in a description of what they are doing, starting with the words "I am" in the style of the original social networks, with all Facebook status updates once having to begin with "I am". Annabel read out a selection to "I Am What I Am" by Gloria Gaynor. This was originally a daily feature.
- Any Other Business: This feature was broadcast Mon-Thurs, just after 7 o'clock and showcased late listener contributions to phone-in topics from previous shows. It was retired upon the introduction of the Members' Only Hour

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“These, then, will be some of the features of democracy ... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, particolored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“Each reader discovers for himself that, with respect to the simpler features of nature, succeeding poets have done little else than copy his similes.”
