Radio Turn Offs

[murphy's law]

I haven't read the whole thread, but I think it's too easy/obvious to bash talksport. I think it's actually quite good. I don't think it's as low brow as people think these days.

Hawksbee & Jacobs are superb, Saggers normally does some interesting intelligent topics, European football show is good, Rushden & Glendenning on a Sunday is stupid but fun, likewise Jason Cundy's show. Press pass & players lounge also interesting stuff.

Adrian Durham is so obviously on the wind up, I can't believe people can get angry about him. I don't like Arsenal though, which helps.

There's a half hour Radio 4 program I stumbled upon the other day where they do obituaries on famous people who have died that week. Was really quite depressing.

Rushden & Glendenning are brilliant....where else would you find out how many toilets David Stockdale has ( 4 i seem to recall)

On the basis that this has moved beyond Sport on the radio, I can't abide Classic FM. A load of sycophantic presenters on a station where it seems to me you will never hear anything remotely interesting or challenging. "Playing the most beautiful music in the world...." or however they phrase it. If I want to listen to Classical Music on the radio, it's radio 3 every time.

PS - and the adverts make it worse - another plus for the BBC whether it's Radio 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 - I'm too old for radio 1.

Simon 'smug as f&ck' Mayo - the bloke just reads out praise for his shows all the time

I forgot about Classic FM, I really can't stand that. I was working in a customer's kitchen and they had Classic FM on, I asked if I could turn it off as it was depressing me.

 

[Ludensian Gull]

Graham Norton, radio 2 Saturday mornings. Bloody stupid laugh of his does my head in.

 

[BensGrandad]

I have Classicc FM on if I am driing any distance as I find it very soothing rather than listening to people waffling but if at home doing anything or on the pc I usually have Smooth on.

 

[Blue3]

Sara Groloe BBC Sussex cannot stand her voice

Classic FM = Audio valium BG. Classic FM was single-handedly responsible for a 2% reduction in road rage incidents in the Chipping Sodbury area in the last quarter of 2011

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Panel show comedies on radio 4 that star David Mitchell and/or Jeremy Hardy. There's only so much smugness that any human can reasonably tolerate without wanting to set fire to their own ears.

jeremy hardy long ago dissolved into a steaming puddle of self parody but the radio 4 show which is truly awful is the Now show. It's just terrible when you switch in the radio hoping for the news quiz and instead get Steve Punt introducing some humourless twerp dug up by the BBC diversity dept

 

[Tom Bombadil]

I find Mary Anne Hobbs voice so intensely irritating I have to switch channel immediately

I suppose with you in the car there really is no need for additional waffle

Colin Murray and Stan Colymore.

Edit: and Chris Evans

Okay [MENTION=28934]AmexRuislip[/MENTION], I'll see your Johnny Yawn and raise you that buglecunt Chris Moyles.

If I'm on wifi, its radio 6 and nothing else. Radio X shits, pisses and vomits on the grave of XFM. I quite like Johnny Yawn but when buglecunt Moyles failed to play a single song during a half hour drive in one morning because he couldn't stop himself prattling out his usual attention seeking drivel, I vowed never again. Don't get me started on that cockwomble Vernon Kaye either. Not hat long ago, he started playing a Bowie song and then said it would be wrong to talk over it. He's as thick as he is bland.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Jack the Lad on Heart (well, most of the Heart presenters, but him in particular).

"Comedy" sidekicks on breakfast shows are nearly always unbearable, and he's a chronically irritating classic of the genre.

Glad I'm not alone in thinking that about JH. I haven't listened to the Now Show in years because Punt's voice grates and it also has Mitch Benn and his guitar.

The diversity drive isn't all bad though. I did enjoy a comedy series on R4 presented by a female classics scholar all about Greek literature. It sounds high brow but really wasn't. All very '1066 and All That'. The Lucy Porter-written 'Fair Intellectual Club' is also pretty good.

Love your word to describe Moyles.
