aww I love her. She's a bit of a professional northerner but still love her

the80sweregreat · 04/06/2024 16:20

I think she is great, but I have a different job now and I don't hear her as much in the afternoons.

Spirallingdownwards · 04/06/2024 16:20

I think she is great. She is clever and witty.

Different strokes for different folks.

Unsure why you think it may be fun to add this to chat but hey ho.

Good job there’s no necessity for anyone to be held at gun point and forced to listen to the radio then. Just an excuse to be unnecessarily bitchy in the hope everyone will pile on and slag her off? How dull.

PhilosophicalCheeseSandwich · 04/06/2024 16:26

I think she seems like a decent sort. I like her on TV more than on the radio though, she gets less overexcited.

Averagelife · 04/06/2024 16:28

Fgs some of these responses! I get you Op, I like Sara cox but can’t listen to her on the radio 😁

haddockfortea · 04/06/2024 16:32

I miss Steve Wright. 🙁

Sara Cox is all right, but I'm not all that keen on her taste in music to be honest. Same goes for most of the R2 programmes these days. Not sure what demographic they are aiming for really.

I think Sara Cox is great!!
I could have R2 on all day, apart from midday-2pm...

SpentAll · 04/06/2024 17:10

Not heard her on the radio and wanted to love her on the Books TV show but she always seemed a bit ill at ease and it made for uncomfortable viewing. Is she the same on the radio?

Dogondoolally · 04/06/2024 17:11

God there’s some right bitchiness on here today. OP has posted on CHAT its chit chat and nothing wrong with that.

Try Bush and Ritchie on Absolute Radio.

I meant that they are good, not like Sarah Cox!

ShotgunSally · 04/06/2024 17:19

I really like her, didn't back in her ladette days, she's the only one I really listen to on Radio 2 now that Ken has gone to GHR. I think she is much better than Zoe Ball, who I don't understand how she still has a job with her attendance.

CHEESEY13 · 04/06/2024 18:49

I don't think there is a "fun" element - I've often wondered why DJ's have a style of talking down to listeners as if they are our "Wacky Mates". No wonder I drift off more and more to LBC......

I remember her on the Girlie Show. Who would be wanker of the week ??

Wonkypictureframe · 04/06/2024 20:08

I like her show a lot. She feels like nice company.

If you want to listen to music, try Absolute Radio. Their DJs especially their female ones are excellent.

ThePoshUns · 04/06/2024 21:28

I can't tolerate any of the DJs on radio 2 at the moment. I prefer Sara to Zoe Ball though, she restos awful

ThePoshUns · 04/06/2024 21:29
  • really is
WindsurfingDreams · 04/06/2024 21:30

It's a very inane style of radio presenting but there are a lot of men with that style too. I can't stand any of them!

I got sent her "novel" in a book box. I only lasted 15 minutes with that too!

Ffs! Her mum was dying and then passed away that’s why she’s not been there!

I love Sara Cox.

Zoe has been taking time off recently to be with her dying mother. Who died about six weeks ago.

I don't think she sounds like a professional northerner, but then I live in the north. She sounds quite natural to me. I love her accent.

I don't mind her. I admit to being a Vernon Kay convert though. The recent piano room performances were absolutely brilliant (except for Rod Stewart).
