I always felt really uncomfortable with the whole "love you, bye" - it felt forced and put the caller/ guest under pressure to respond in kind. I didn't like the power dynamic of that and I could never put my finger on it.
In terms of general presentation skills, I agree with others that it was very self-focused. Zoe had her faults in that her questions went on for far too long and she was a bit OTT at times in the morning but her enthusiasm, genuine emotion and connection with people came through more than Scott. The format since Scott took over the show felt off and it never really gelled for me. It didn't seem as if it was a genuine team that really worked well together.
I have enjoyed the mornings with Gary but I think OJ could be a quiet contender. He has a great balance of content, music appreciation and relating to guests/ callers.
Personally, I don't mind comedians such as Romesh and Rob - they are typically on air time when I am looking for something a bit more silly. I do think, on a separate note that Romesh is genuinely passionate about HipHop and he is very articulate and knowledgeable. Rylan and his presentation style on a Saturday afternoon is fun, energetic and pure escapism. Paddy on a Sunday morning - too much, this is when I want to be at my most chilled on the weekend! But that is my taste so I won't judge others who appreciate that style of presentation.
If the BBC have made the correct legal decision that actually reflects employment law and their conduct policies rather than paying lip service to populist culture then I am happy. I would like to see them share their full process on this but I appreciate that this is not something that we are party to given UK legislation. I just hope that if this is the case that the BBC will continue to enforce an appropriately rigorous process with any person in their employment and under investigation. This is the basic minimum we should be able to hold them accountable to as a body funded by the British public.
