Does anyone else get annoyed with Sara Cox?

She says things in a very strange way. I don't mean her accent. She sort of snuffles and mangles words. Or is it just me?

Threads like this remind me why I haven't bothered to fix my car radio.

WilmaFlintstone38 · 01/07/2025 23:03

There's another thread going about this and the breakfast show being irritating as she's covering for Scott Mills.

I love her. She really makes me laugh and I think she is warm and engaging with the callers. Horses for courses. No need for the two nasty threads about her that are running.You don’t HAVE to listen to her.

Love Sara Cox!! So witty and on the ball and great with callers/guests. Zoe Ball seemed very dull to me - too nicely nice and boring. Can’t stand Scott Mills or Vernon - both make me cringe and seem to try too hard where Sara seems really relaxed and natural. Liza and Romesh are really good too.

Did you wake up and think 'Ooh let's pick a human being and encourage everyone to post nasty comments"

There is a person behind this

Why do you think I listen? And you're at liberty to report the threat if it upsets you. I haven't called the presenter names, just said I don't like the show because her delivery is irritating.

I’m confused. If you don’t listen to her show, then what’s the problem?! Oh wait, is it that she’s a successful woman?!

And there's me raging that she's not on the tea time slot at the moment . Really enjoy unwinding listening to her in the evenings

SirChenjins · 02/07/2025 09:31

I'm really missing her too - she was great on rhe commute home. I'm not sure who the person covering her slot is, I don't recognise her.

CrushingOnRubies · 02/07/2025 09:42

I only really listen to Sara’s on a Friday and quite enjoy All Requests Friday. But my god some of the interviews with listeners are cringe.

Isn't it Ellie Taylor? Sounds like her.

I am enjoying Sara on breakfast more than her usual slot. I do quite like Ellie Taylor too, though not sure on the obsession Radio 2 has with comedians. Are there no real DJs they can get.

whatcanthematterbe81 · 02/07/2025 11:53

This seems mean. Hope she doesn’t read this. Imagine being bitched about online just for… being you

justtootiredtoday · 02/07/2025 12:06

I’ll admit I hardly ever listen to the radio. Only really in the car.

Do people still listen to the radio at home? If so, I like the sound of that, maybe I will do that.

Haven’t heard Sara Cox in years but used to find her funny.

Heard Rylan on the radio a while ago and thought he was great. Brilliant with the listeners, funny, authentic and just very relaxed.

You get so many of these “so called” celebs these days with absolutely no discernable talent, but I thought Rylan came across as very confident and capable.

It’s nasty and personal since the OP saw fit to resurrect her own year old thread. How horrible, why would @MNHQthink this is “in the spirit”?

Ellie Taylor from Pottery Throwdown and 8 out of 10 Cats?

Yes its her ( checked tonight )

Luckily the show is following the same format without Sara, and Ellie isnt bad, just not our Sara

Just love her self deprecating , tongue in cheek humour

Seems like I’m in the minority but I love Sara! I think she’s great with callers, I really like her all request Fridays and the half Wower. I also like Scott, though that’s partly nostalgia for my R1-listening youth. Not a fan of the recent R2 shake up though. I miss Ken, and I can’t stand Paddy/Vernon/Rob. Romesh is quite good though. Liza Tarbuck is my absolute favourite now, her show is like sitting down for a cuppa with your oldest and weirdest friend.

I agree, I love Sara cox! And you’re right about all the others too. I don’t mind vernon in tv but he’s so annoying on radio. Oh and paddy is about as funny as thrush.

BCBird · 02/07/2025 22:02

I.liie her. Can't stand Ritchie-sounds false with his affected laugh

BCBird · 02/07/2025 22:03

Paddy- would rather get having teeth pulled without an anaesthetic

Maddy70 · 02/07/2025 22:18

I love Sarah cox

NerrSnerr · 02/07/2025 22:31

I really like Sara. I think she’s warm and funny. I like most of them to be honest. Like Zoe, Scott and Vernon. Love the Jeremy Vine show purely because I love the contrasting stories, going from a speaking to a lady who lost her whole extended family in a freak sinkhole incident to Terry on the allotment to asking ‘should pylons be painted blue?’

Not so keen on Paddy, like Michael Ball and indifferent about Dame Elaine (have them mentioned that yet??).

Love Rylan the most, he’s warm, funny, intelligent and I adore the karaoke he does with guests.

NerrSnerr · 02/07/2025 22:32

I also like Richie. Love a Black Country accent and I think he’s funny. Good guy too in my opinion.
