yes i love it and listen all the time, especially to robert elms and norman jay!!

southeastastra · 21/08/2006 10:51

i used to listen years ago when it was glr and chris evans was funny

MrsJohnCusack · 21/08/2006 10:52

I love some programmes - especially Danny Baker at 3 - the best radio show there is.

binker · 21/08/2006 10:55

Absolutely love Danny Baker's show,especially if Baylen or Amy Lame are on (esp Baylen !) but does anyone else find Jono a real pain and not funny - especially irritating when he quotes things and never gets them quite right...grrr !

MrsJohnCusack · 21/08/2006 10:57

don't massively like Jono (or Jo Good). Also can't bear Eddie Nestor at 5 - have to turn over.
LOVE Baylen and Amy - love love love them.

southeastastra · 21/08/2006 10:57

i can live with jono, he's not that bad. i often ring the vanessa show too . i used to like the book show but they don't do that anymore i don't think.

MrsJohnCusack · 21/08/2006 10:57

actually can't find a programme to listen to before 9am which is irritating. Do like Vanessa at 9 although think she's on holiday at the moment.

MrsJohnCusack · 21/08/2006 10:58

yes my one and only radio appearance was on Vanessa

binker · 21/08/2006 10:59

Jo is ok,have a soft spot for her after winning tickets on her night time show for the stage version of The Railway Children last year..
Yes,.Eddie N a bit annoying - also like Charlie Gillet program and the reggae one later on saturday...

Eddie N finished us off altogether the other day by starting the programme with 'So, how about those planes then?' It was SO crass

southeastastra · 21/08/2006 11:05

he always goes on about being 30 and his mums cooking too

suzywong · 21/08/2006 11:08

it's just not the same since it stopped being GLR is it, southeast?
Sean Hughes, Katie Puckrick, Andrea Oliver etc

I have a very soft spot for Robert Elms too, even if he is a colossal ponce

MrsJohnCusack · 21/08/2006 11:09

it IS different but I forgive anything that gives me Danny, Baylen and Amy

I loved Katie Pukrick

and Elms is def a ponce! but he has such interesting people and topics on his show.

suzywong · 21/08/2006 11:11

I really miss it

Is Katie P stil on? She is so intelligent and witty. I love her. We once had a fax conversation going about slips.

MrsJohnCusack · 21/08/2006 11:13

you know I haven't heard anything about Katie P for ages. she seems to have gone very quiet

MrsJohnCusack · 21/08/2006 11:14

I'm still going to 'listen again' to Danny Baker when I move to NZ in a month, can't bear the thought of missing him (you can do it on the BBC Radio Player on the website for a week afterwards)

southeastastra · 21/08/2006 11:16

it has listeners worldwide now it's great! i think katie p moved back to the us

binker · 21/08/2006 15:01

Robert Elms is good, but can be irritating too - Sean Rowley is a good substitute at the moment though...
What has happened to Mark O'Donnell who used to be on with Jo and Baylen in the morning ? he was on Danny Baker's show a little while back...

I think Vanessa's show is great - I just love her use of the English language. Robert Elms get on my tits tho and Eddie N is so bloody RUDE.

Davros · 22/08/2006 19:09

I LOVE Robert Elms' show as I'm a London-nut! He can be irritating though as he's so chirpy. He is about the same age as me and likes exactly the same music, went to all the same places when younger and I even supported QPR in me mispent yoof!
I also like Vanessa but can't listen at that time of day, must be R4.
Anyone who needs a good breakfast show should try David Prever on Smooth (shamless plug as have to admit he's married to my neice )

MrsJohnCusack · 22/08/2006 19:10

I remember David Prever from when he was on LBC
so he got married then... we got a bit of a blow by blow account of their relationship!

southeastastra · 22/08/2006 19:10

i have a real secret crush on robert elms

Davros · 22/08/2006 20:18

MrsJC, I gather that he talked a lot about the impending nuptials but he had a lot more time and opportunity to talk then and doesn't now. Several of my friends were avid listeners and fans and used to tell me what my neice was doing! He had to fill the time with something!
