Sara Cox please just stop!!!

I personally think all these 50 something women ( and I'm 62) and I include Jo whiley in that too --sound like they are trying too hard to still be young , hip, glasto girlies in pink spotty wellies.

It's a bit like grizzled 70 something male rockers doing the 'let's make sweet love baby, baby' songs

I work in that industry but it does grind my gears- silly voices and all. Clearly age is catching up on me as I genuinely would rather listen to James o Brien or Sheila Fogarty or Andrew Marr having intelligent chats on LBC

Oh god yes the breath intakes 😣

and Ritchie, how the hell as he progressed from traffic reader to stand in presenter 😳

I like Chris Evans, might join you on there !

Cox is great! The music on Radio 2 is so bland and old fashioned though, I don't really listen to it. In my 40s, not 80s!!

Surely if you don't like a presenter you just don't listen to them. It's not like we are short of entertainment options on demand these days. I am hard pressed to understand why some people feel so strongly they feel compelled to share to share their dislike on social media.

I'd love to know what the OP was wanting to achieve by their post.

Aww I think she seems so lovely-what a horrible thread, imagine if she read it and how crap she’d feel 😔

And yet they are both personal attacks, and in that thread, people didn’t like her comedy, not her disability.

@YorkshireMedusa I thought @oakleaffy was wondering why this thread was standing, why a comparable thread about another woman was pulled. In that thread, people were also praising and disliking the protagonist (a comedienne).

Wow. Do you not like 70s music or not like Johnny Walker? His show is one of the last that shows real musical intelligence. Walker is a consumate professional, compare him to the drivel that the non-professional DJ ("entertainers") spew out and its chalk and cheese. When he goes - and he's very ill - it's another nail in the R2 coffin.

You do you, I like who I like, you like who you like, but its genuinely sad to see that people want people like Johnny Walker to stop broadcasting.

Her show used to coincide with my daily run. I managed to listen and enjoy for a couple of weeks before getting burnt out. It's all a bit repetitive. Are the Muppets song and the You're Welcome song still being played? I had to physically take my headphones off in the end whenever they were played 😬

Switched to Radio 1 instead and now usually coincide with Jack Saunders. There's a guy who's madly fawning about every piece of music ever played in the history of radio! Why use one adjective when twenty will do?

Tbh, I don't really understand why we have DJs. Just play the music, give us the name of the track without chatting all over it, and read a shout-out if you're feeling fancy.

I love her and don’t understand the daily mumsnet hatred towards her.

@oakleaffy I’ve reported posts in the past but apparently the Radio 2 djs hatred is allowed.

Good point!

I also like Jeremy Vine, It helps my afternoon go a bit quicker.

Really dislike when Tina Daheley steps in, i think she is rubbish, it is like she doesn't know what to say, yet they keep bringing her back to stand in.

Yes. I tend to stick with the main station as I really like the mix of old and new music.

Whoever chooses the music for the main station does a great job.

I am nearly 60 but I like listening to Absolute Radio because it has a younger feel compared to Greatest Hits or Boom.

Having said that, I really like Greatest Hits on Friday and Saturday nights after 10 when they play soul music from the 80s and 90s.

also listen to them not annoying an you can choose between 60 70s 80s 90s 00s an they all tie in with the djs

Rylan has no real talent. He’s a nice enough bloke but I don’t feel like he’s a safe pair of hands.

Yes, l love her accent, l just think she’s really funny.Rylan, agree he is the jewel in the crown.I do really miss Paul O’Grady though

Wish Tony Blackburn and the sounds of the 70’s chap would go too!

Well, seeing as they're both getting on in years (81? 79?)and Jonny Walker has/had cancer you may not have long to wait! I was surprised to hear that Steve Wright would have turned 70 recently if he'd still been with us.

not me, not really keen on rylan, but i have warmed to him

That being said, I rather like Sara Cox (I know I talk like her but with an Estuary accent) and I've really warmed to Vernon.

I like the bromance between Tony and Dermot on Saturday when they hand over and Romesh is settling in nicely to a slot I loved with Graham and the Claudia.

The jewel in the crown is Rylan. EVERYONE a I know from 25-80 listens to his show and loves him.

There was another thread just up about a female Comedian where people were saying they didn't like the style of comedy - It was pulled immediately, yet this one criticising another woman is allowed to stand?

Would Sara Cox not be equally upset if she saw this- or is the other comedian's feelings considered more important, @MNHQ
