Steve Allen has cast aspersions over historic child sex abuse claims, wallowed in death, illness and animal cruelty as well as talking about Bros, David Beckham and mentioning his mother (as usual). He's also reading stories that are days old as well as the fact he still owns those embarrassing "sparkly jackets". He's really struggling and needs to seek professional help. How long can this shamefully amateur broadcasting continue?
I wonder if Brian will mention his public school, monks, his laughably inept drug incident, UKIP and Farage, immigration and living in a painfully middle class white enclave again today? Brian has got to stop this nonsense.
Iain Dale has been tremendous on the breakfast show this week. A brilliant broadcaster who is measured, informative and highly professional but with a sense of humour. An excellently paced show as well. Hope Mr Dale is receiving a substantial increment for his work, one of the best on the station.

Yes far superior to Ferrari; and the Ego and the Cough too. An informative, AND enjoyable 7am listen.

Well if he reads this forum, he will thanks to you .......... Mike !

ha ha .... did he mention Matt Goss' visit to reception?

Agree he's probably the best on the station but Ferrari has that extra vivacity and 'snappiness' in the morning I prefer for the breakfast show.
Craig Ogden and friends. The perfect guitar album to accompany you to Dignitas.
If I was, as a form of punishment, told to listen to that album on a loop, or face oblivion then I know what I would choose. That album sounds dire to my sophisticated musically attuned ears.

Ferrari's programme is Gaslight radio by comparison with the urbane intellect of Iain Dale. Who'd want to listen to the former on a regular basis, with his faux urgency about everything.
Terrible radio ladies and gentleman, as are the two programmes that precede his.
He's normally all over the place, ricocheting from one half-formed train of thought to another. I doubt he was intentionally connecting the two things but is too stupid to realise that's what it could sound like.
Have to agree with most of that. It's not a pre-scripted, rehearsed programme. Given that he must say 20,000 words plus per show, I'd guess most people with a vendetta would be able to link a few together and seek offence
Steve's latest new affectation is shreiking "How cool is that?". At least he has stopped saying "I'm afraid" more than any other words on the show. I wonder how he managed to kick that habit and do you think him being mercilessly baited on Twitter about it caused this change?
I'm amazed that no-one has started a Brian parody account on Twitter. Would anyone be able to tell the difference?

It does indeed, it sounds very much to me like Mr Ogden and his 'friends' had ingested a huge quantity of valium before the recording started and they are about to all nod off. Who are these 'friends', one wonders?
Hahaha, you're on top form today, Mike! Thanks for making me :D:D!
Morning RM! - Just so we are all fully aware I have included the track listing (and list of his so-called 'friends') for Mr Ogden's uninspiring and tedious borefest (below). Although anyone thinking of purchasing this dreary old droneathon will have to wait 11-13 days (if they can remain alive that long) as Amazon don't have any stock ready to post today. What an utter waste of time, ladies and gentlemen, i'm afraid. No suprise that Mr Ogden's sterile, pedestrian and nondescript offering is available on Classic FM.

Here, Here! I'm liking him on the Morning slot. Miss him on the afternoon, when that Tired Tom Sawbrick comes on. Oh well, it's that time I turn the radio off before James has one of his rants.

I find him good too - in fact better than in his 4pm Drive slot .

BiB. But that's exactly where you'd expect that type of music. Classic FM isn't all bad but playing popular and easy listening, excerpts from the popular repertoire and nauseam isn't my cup of tea. Mind you, R3 has, to some extent gone that route as well. Such a shame and an insult to one's intelligence.
As we all know, Brian is a passionate defender of the striking tube workers. Does anyone know how he will travel from his leafy, middle class, white enclave tomorrow to LBC Towers in Leicester Square during the tube strike?
Maybe Brian will cycle in to work tomorrow? Maybe Brian will travel by overground train....or....will Brian be picked up from his million pound house in Chiswick and chauffeur driven into his place of work?

Has he done the giving instructions on how to give medicine to a cat lately?

Does anyone know his likely method of transport?
