To find affected mannerisms by radio presenters annoying?

Sara Cox (pronouncing things quirkily) and Elaine Paige/Lisa Tarbuck (mix of cackling and sniggering) I mean you.

Disclaimer: I'm sure there are TV presenters that are annoying too. And men. Just so you know I'm aware of that. But these are my top 3. Closely followed by Ken Bruce.

YANBU. I find about 80% of all radio presenters infuriating.

I mainly listen to talksport.. most are great presenters, with the ability to talk on a one to one basis with listeners.
But one who presents a peak show is a real knob, can't accept criticism of journalists, can't accept he could be wrong. Uses the same phrases over and over. Blows smoke up guest arses then digs them out later

It's horses for courses, isn't it. I absolutely love Liza Tarbuck's show, especially the way she clearly doesn't give a fuck.

What I find annoying is that Radio 1 newsreader with the really strong Welsh accent. It sounds like a self-parody, I don't know how anyone can take him seriously.

Can’t bear the smugness in James O’Brien’s voice. If he was chocolate he’d eat himself. I have to turn him off.

i loved Vanessa Feltz on BBc London, but for some reason she’d start eating during a show (I’m sure she thought she was being discreet) and as I have misofonia it made me feel quite stabby.

I try and clear my throat when anyone on the radio has a frog in theirs 😂
