Does anyone else tune in on the mornings? Two very different styles of presenting subjects for discussion and debate.

JOB is a massive bellend. I agree with most of what he says but I still dislike him, he’s overbearing, sexist, superior & talks over all his callers. Can’t listen to him anymore.

Radishknot · 13/12/2024 18:39

Yes to Nick Abbot.

Ihateboris · 13/12/2024 18:48

Yes, but my favourite presenter is Tom Swarbrick.

I like Tom Swarbrick, measured but can be funny when he whispers the odd comment. whilst someone is talking.

I'd so love to have JOB intellect and debating skills, there isn't anyone he can't bring down but wish he'd let people speak without interrupting. Someone really riled him up a couple of weeks ago and it was quite funny listening to him trying to keep his cool. He barely managed it. Sheila also very measured. Not so keen on Nick Ferrari.

I love Nick Abbot! I can guarantee that within 2 minutes of tuning into his programme,I am laughing out loud at something he's said. And I love the daft sound effects!

Cannot STAND the bloody sound effects. So childish

I also love Dean Dunham’s consumer hour on a Sunday night

Does anyone miss Steve Allen?

What, that sexist, arrogant ignorant, racist twat?

the best thing LBC ever did was get rid. He rambled on day after boring day talking about nothing, mainly slagging off celebrities esp Katie Price. The reason his programme was never a phone-in was because he wasn't able to cope with people actually talking facts and having to converse with them about current affairs because he lacked any knowledge.

Ian Payne who replaced him has been doing a great job. He doesn't get all his facts right but he isn't arrogant or unwilling to be corrected if he misstates something, he's a good conversationalist and never bores on about Love Island.

I like Ian Payne
One of the more sensible ones

Nick - hmmm, hes a Tory so I'm wary of him!

James - a bit faux ..... he doesn't ring true for me and boy does he like the sound of his own voice!

Sheila - she's excellent but doesn't like any form of criticism of her

Tom - love him!

Which Nick? Not Ferrari surely? He seems the most neutral of all of them! He’s willing to hear both sides of things and seems to have a good moral compass

I think he's a raging Tory! Of course I might be wrong 🙂

Nick is my usual morning go-to. He definitely is much better to listen to once he stopped sucking up to the Tories. And I like Tom in the afternoon as I'm preparing dinner.
However, the minute that Andrew Marr switches over at 6, I'm out!
