RIP Jenni. A broadcaster with integrity and talent unlike the current cohort on WH.

I didn't know until I saw the thread title. What a loss. That is so sad to read. She was an amazing woman who wasn't afraid of speaking up for those who couldn't.

She was fabulous. She WAS Woman's Hour, she made it worth listening to. RIP dear Jennni.

Very sad. Woman’s Hour really went downhill after she left.

MyThreeWords · 20/03/2026 19:07

O that's very sad. Lovely Jenni. For years and years she was one of those people who almost feel like part of the household as they chat away to you in the kitchen.

I wish she had lived long enough to have been fully uncancelled.

JoyousAsOtters · 20/03/2026 19:06

She was a wonderful presenter, she had such warmth and wit, and was very skilled at getting the best out of ordinary people on the radio.

LewisFerrux · 20/03/2026 19:04

She was brilliant on Women's Hour, I used to listen most days in her era. Such a loss.

RummidgeGeneral · 20/03/2026 18:59

Really sad to hear that. What a loss.

DoAsYouWouldBeMumBy · 20/03/2026 18:57

I stopped listening too. I mean, I occasionally put it on when I’m in the house, but I never think of it, and the combo of Jenni and Jane was something to look forward to in the morning. I feel like she retired much longer ago, so I was surprised by how young she was. Damn it.

blondeascustard · 20/03/2026 18:56

So sad to hear this. She was a brilliant voice on the radio and was so good at doing challenging but subtle interviews.

BinseyPoplars · 20/03/2026 18:50

She was such a distinctive voice - in all senses. Great work Jenni xx

I’m shocked it’s not the number 1 story on the Daily Mail, she wrote for them! It’s not on there at all.

she was a great writer. Flowers

I'm absolutely stunned. It must have been very sudden. A great loss for feminists.

BellaBlackberry83 · 20/03/2026 18:44

Such terrible news. RIP Jenni. Thank you for all you did.

HoppityBun · 20/03/2026 18:44

Oh gosh, 75 is too young. Respect to you, Jenni, with thanks and love. Go well xx

Alpacajigsaw · 20/03/2026 18:44

So sad to hear this. A great woman.

damelza · 20/03/2026 18:43

WH was captured by the menz in dresses cohort at the BBC so Jenni's departure resulted I think.

Sad day for women and her family.

Newrumpus · 20/03/2026 18:43

Loss of a legend. The voice and of decades of my life. And what an amazing voice. She felt like a friend.

Igmum · 20/03/2026 18:42

RIP JM. A wonderful woman. I used to love listening to Woman’s Hour when she hosted it. Haven’t listened for years now. Flowers

Flicitytricity · 20/03/2026 18:41

Stopped listening when she left, it was never the same.
Bloody loved her. RIP Jenny 💔

ForPinkDuck · 20/03/2026 18:38

RIP. Still not got over her leaving womans hour.Just heard the news on radio 4. Who aired highlights of her hilary clinton and edwina curry interviews.

senua · 20/03/2026 18:38

I just heard it on the Six O'Clock news on Radio4. No mention of why she moved on from WH.Hmm
RIP Jenni and thank you for standing up for women.

HumphreyCobblers · 20/03/2026 18:37
