To ask if you like Jeremy Vine?

I’ve been hearing a lot about Jeremy Vine lately, and I’m curious - do people actually like his style of presenting? I find he can be quite polarising, with some loving him and others not so much. AIBU to ask what others think about him and why?

No.

He ruined Radio 2 lunchtime with his shallow, sensationalist style of conducting himself rather than asking pertinent questions and listening to guests’ answers.

Imo he’s a fluff piece who heard the afternoon parody of himself and thought it was a good idea to go even further into parodying the parody himself.

Tf I haven’t had to see or hear him in years now.

Too much. Reasonable years ago but now just a giant ego.

I love Yasmin Yalhibi -Brown.

Obnoxious prick on the radio, obnoxious prick in real life.

I don’t like him. I think he is a bit dim. Far prefer Vanessa.

Cannot stand him. He gets turned off on the dot of noon. Much preferred when Vanessa stood in for him.

SleepingisanArt · 09/10/2024 15:33

No. Can't stand him! Doesn't listen to his guests and gives way too much air time to people with 'questionable views '. Have to turn off the radio when he's on....

Sometimes his radio show has interesting topics so I occasionally listen, but I would turn him off tv. I couldn’t watch him.

SidekickSylvia · 09/10/2024 15:32

I just don't think he has the comprehension for his job at radio 2. He so often misunderstands his callers, but because he's well spoken/educated he's assumed to be intelligent.

No, particularly his behaviour when riding his bike.

ExquisiteEmelda · 09/10/2024 15:24

Can’t stand him, he’s an obnoxious twat and a total show off. (Also he’s a total prick when in comes to his entitlement when riding his bike).
