RADIO MIC STAND

Jessie May Ventour over at CNMG, we know you are in a radio station for First Up, but your microphone stand seems to be blocking your view of your guest and vice versa. You seem to be looking around it to see urologist Dr Bajranjee.
It also takes up much of the shot whether the camera is picking you up or the guest.
Why not ask the powers that be to place the mic stand to your right against the wall so that it's not so much in focus during your interviews?
