[Misc] Best Radio Presenters ?

[The Clamp]

Made some very harsh jokes about him when he was arrested, Kelly ultimately had no case to answer (ala Cliff Richard) but Skinner was brutal bordering on libel in his shows calling him a nonce, essentially.

Awful sound quality, but Matthew Kelly confronted Skinner about this on live TV:

Ah yes, I vaguely recall that. Bad judgment perhaps.

He has very much matured which comes across well on his radio show.

 

[Red Squirrel]

OJ Borg. It's time he was on during the day

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

There seems to be a contrast between him on TV and on radio. He's good on radio

Confession time: I didn't even know that Alan Carr was on radio. But seemed a safe assumption seeing as how the irritating **** is absolutely everywhere else

 

[A1X]

Colin Murray
Greg James
Mark Chapman

 

[Machiavelli]

They've all gone: Peel, Humph, Wogan, Arlott, or aren't on the radio anymore Lamarr, #Prodnose, Mair, @chaileyjem and his 'Turn it Up' mates.

I'll have to go with Radcliffe with either Lard or Maconie.

Peel, Arnott and Mair outstanding calls

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Chappers
Rushden

And the controversial one...

Moyles in the morning on Radio X.

It was also Robins and James but they've gone mostly podcast now

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Max Rushden and Charlie Baker on Saturdays mornings appears to work

 

[Weststander]

Nicky Campbell (my kind of person)
Shelagh Fogarty
James O’Brien

But with all three I skip entire hours’ segments, for my own wellbeing. Hearing in detail the same grim stories in triplicate is not conducive to having some happiness, plus I don’t want to be a slave to their agendas.

Nemone Metaxas on R6 was incredible. Great music, a kind person and psychotherapist. R6 mucked around with schedules and shed some presenters …. not sure is she’s still there?

Nihal … not sure how he got the gig. Immature, he ruins some interviews by going off at unfunny tangents due to his poor attention span. Plus the “mate” thing when interviewing hip-hop stars 30 years his junior.

Went to see Mark and Lard last sunday on the 20th anniversary of their last show on Radio 1. Great show. My all time favourites.

Nicky Campbell by a country mile

Colin Murray is excellent

May as well add Ken Bruce

 

[Brian Fantana]

I like Tony Livesey and can't stand Nihal Arthanayake (you're a spurs fan, you should have mentioned and 40 year olds shouldn't be calling people 'Dude', you're 52 FFS).

Sorry, you've picked on one of my pet hates. The answer is of course, as Tony Livesey mentioned only last week

I think I may be getting old

This.

I’m guessing the photo is Peter Allen?

Old school - Johnny Walker

With Jane Garvey, radio 5 live Drive made me realise I had finally grown up

Loved Peter Allen’s gallows humour about his Tottenham’s decades of hurt. No ego.

 

[Grassman]

Can’t believe nobody has said Ken Bruce, yet. So, Ken Bruce.
Chappers too, mainly because he sounds like a friend of mine.

Apart from 5 posts before yours

 

[METALMICKY]

For me the main man sadly departed a few years back.

Tommy Vance - 'TV on the radio' and The Friday Rock show. Introduced me to many great rock acts and always had some great live recordings of festivals like Reading and Monsters of Rock at Castle Donnington.

 

[jcdenton08]

I’ll add Ambrose Harcourt and kinda cheating but Humph.

 

[rebel51]

Dean saunders

 

[robinsonsgrin]

With Elis and John no longer live... it is Colin Murray / Chappers and partial to Vernon...
