Well, yes, that's true. But (at least these days) JaM also has basically a different panel every two weeks whilst ISIHAC has a much tighter core of panellists.

I think it's reasonable to say that JaM has a constant(ish) format and a frequently changing list of personnel whilst ISIHAC has a frequently changing format but a constant(ish) list of personnel. I don't necessarily think that JaM's way of staying fresh is better than ISIHAC's. Indeed you could say that the fact that they're both still around after all of these years shows that both ways of doing it are equally successful.
