Is there any individual more pleased with themselves?

Listening to her show tonight - reading out text after text from people who say she encouraged them to start running / do couch to 5k. Enough now Jo! We know you can run, but come on?

I've always liked JW since Radio 1 evening session days, up to her covering Glastonbury. I don't listen to r2 as I listen to 6music. I wish she would go on there.

I like her a lot better after reading this thread Sad.

Exactly! @notacooldad 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ve found that I’ve grown into Jo Whiley and her presenting style. I’ve always enjoyed her music choices, and have learnt a lot about up and coming popular music through her shows. She didn’t click for me on the afternoon slot, but the evening slot is just perfect because she gets to talk passionately about the music.

So if you are a MN lurker Jo, thanks because I’m pretty sure my musical choices would have been very boring without you and I would have had much less to chat about when I started uni!

(And yes, Steve Wright is cringeworthy, my kids love the ‘factoids’ though!)

Haven't liked her since I met her at a corporate do many years ago. Stuck up and dismissive, I found her.

I thought she was a complete fish out of water on drive time but I quite like half listening to her in the car while driving to/from kids activities. She did get a huge amount of abuse when she was on drive time which was unnecessary but I do think celebs should just get off Twitter if they are getting a ton of abuse from a bunch of pathetic keyboard warriors rather than feeding it by talking about how awful the abuse was. Also, a massive part of the #bekind Caroline Flack think is newspapers desperately trying to deflect attention from their own behaviour onto the public, the CPS, the NHS, Caroline's friends and family, anyone but themselves. They did the same after Princess Diana died.

@TSSDNCOP is that the best you can do in defence of your behaviour? Says everything I need to know about you.

Another one who likes Jo, she seems like a good egg to me, I think she’d be a girls girl and good company on a night out after a few drinks.
