[Help] OT. Afternoon radio

[Dolph Ins]

Oh all seeing, omniscient,infallible, NSC can I harness your knowledge. I am a gardener and my job doesn't use all my limited brain power so I listen to the radio all day. Mornings are OK, especially now the slightly annoying Chris Evans has sloped off (I would have preferred Sarah Cox but I think Zoe will be fine) and Ken Bruce doesn't get my goat, not sure why. But what do I do with my afternoons? I absolutely loved Radcliffe and Marconie. Mostly good music and intelligent, humorous chat. I've given Shaun Keaveny 2 day's and I'm not impressed. I would rather eat my own poo than listen to Jeremy Vine and Steve Wright, radio 3 is good for 45 mins and then dull as ditch water and radio 4 just distracts me too much, so what station should I listen to (on my personal DAB player) or should I Google how to download podcasts?

Hawksbee & Jacobs on TalkSport 1pm to 4pm are superb

The film review on 5live (Friday 2-4pm) is worth a listen, I used to enjoy Hawkesbee and Jacobs on TalkSPORT but find it a bit inane at times.

Radio 5 for me. Nihal in the afternoon can be a bit hit and miss, but he's engaging. Aimed at the 30-45 year old audience to a bit too 'down with the kidz' for me on the whole. As noted by [MENTION=1413]Mackenzie[/MENTION] the Friday film review on R5 is brilliant (Mark Kermode). Late morning it gets a bit mumsnet.

Personally I'd listen to my iPOD during the middle part of the day. The only actual radio music programmes I can/could tolerate are/were John Peel on radio 1 and the Misery Hour on CITR (downloads available). Radio 6 is too MOR or too self-consciously eclectic for me.

Shaun Keaveny is now in that time slot on 6 music.


Just out of interest does anyone else think TalkSport is the most olfactory radio station?

Within seconds (and it'll have to be seconds) of tuning in I can instantly smell farts, BO and gravy.

Planet rock on DAB

Sorted.

Absolute radio. On DAB you get lots of choices from 70's 80's etc.
And when you need a boogie Kistory.

Nihal Arthanayake on Five live is an excellent listen. I love his programme.

When I praised Peel and his music on NSC, I was ‘jumped on’ for his apparent Savilesque trait (something I genuinely didn’t know about). Teinting slightly amazing memories as a teen in listening to beautiful new music from an endless list of bands late at night.

Steve Wright - a boring wally in the 80’s and 35 years later he’s exactly the same. Obsessed with Americana like the Eagles, behind his faux jokey persona, he hated The Cure, Smiths, Bunnymen, etc.

Across BBC radio, I like Livesey, Kermode, Campbell (I know he’s hated on NSC), Ken Bruce, and a whole load of interesting stuff on R4. Chiles is OK. Victoria Derbyshire’s R5 show was brilliant.

Absolute 80’s is good and not too heavy in minutes spent on ads. I sometimes get reminders of long forgotten (by me) quality songs, which I then play to death on Youtube.

If you don't listen already ,Forgotten 80s on Sunday Nights at 9pm is a must.

 

[Captain Sensible]

Johnny Vaughan on Radio X. 4 til 7 on weekdays.
The funniest bloke on the radio imo.

I listen to Absolute 80s at home through my TV, I can't tune in on my work or van DAB, i get Absolute and Absolute 90s.
Do get a bit fed up with Plusnet and Direct Line ads though.

The podcasts of the Frank Skinner show are great. They condense his weekly show into just the chatter and it’s generally very funny. I think you can go back to the beginning of 2018 as a starting point. Each one is around an hour long

I didn’t know about that, thanks. Usually listening during the day. I’ll check it out.
