Originally posted by Peaky I thought Radio 2 was the sort of thing my dad listened to.  I'm quite disturbed to see so many of you fessing up to being easy listening fans.

Er some of us might well be your dad.

And a fair few your grandad.

I agree about the Zipper Zane Lowe, he is a legend. I love listening to his show. Jo was OK in moderation but questions have to be asked about how far her head is up her own backside. No Jo, you didn't invent new music. Sit down.

Greg James was better on his early breakfast show. When I used to drive back from Devon to Derby on a Monday morning I used to listen to him. My favourite ever radio feature was when he used to do a guff into the microphone, and then get listeners to call in and guess what he had for dinner. Funnily enough, they never quite got it right. I guess he's had to fit in with general BBC mainstream stuff now so his show isn't quite so quirky.

Don't even get me started on Reggie Yates. Just because Andy Peters is your uncles doesn't mean you should pollute the airwaves with your crap. No, "peoples" isn't a real way of addressing anyone, and just because you are interviewing someone who normally hangs out on OneExtra doesn't make them your brother... homie.

Rant over... I'm glad I have the 12 disc changer in the car!

+1

R5 to wake up to. R4 in the car (so the traffic kicks in) CD when the god slot comes on then back to R4.

R5 on the way home and non-sailing Sats.(Fighting Talk - most excellent)

Peel was the last music radio prog I diverted for.

Originally posted by turnturtle Morning- maybe listen to the news to catch business stuff, but iPod was more entertaining. Moyles is just too much to cope with too much blood in the caffeine system. Zane Lowe is a tick in the box for paying your licence fee and I used to tune into Jo Whiley if on the road, that was until she was axed for some brainless bint named Cotton. And as for Greg James, well Edith is suddenly not quite so annoying.... radio 1 has gone rapidly downhill since the new line up. Radio 2... I thought that was only broadcast on a special frequency for those with free bus passes and colostomy bags? iPod is the way forward!

 

Trouble is Jimbo, you and I are now in that crossover generation, between Radio 1 and 2!  I can't listen to most of Radio one and if i do its in small doses!  That Fern Cotton is a plebe.  My problem with Radio one now is a just don't like the music!  All this British Rap and street style music is only really fit for knife ridden morons!  I'll stick with Radio Five live and Talk sport (Mike Parry is a LEGEND)

No radio on ze toob. So it's me and Mr Nano and when I get to the station Mr Metro joins us for 40ish minutes in the morning. But only if it has been delivered by when I get to the station!

 In the car I switch between Xfm and Absolute Radio because occasioally they'll play a half decent song. If I hear much more Oasis, Kasabian, Balls and the Machine etc I'll switch back to LBC. Kind of unfair on Martin though (he's polish).

Anyone do the podcast thing?
