I'm disappointed that I missed James O'Brien talking about IDS but it kind of brings some balance to LBC which otherwise seems to revel in demonising people on benefits.

Edit - yes, for once, apart from clitheroe!
To keep OT, i'm just wondering if anyone thinks LBC has settled down yet, and if all seems to be going well on the station, since going nationwide.
Strangely, I find myself listening even less, often not even tuning in to SA - something I thought would never happen.
Thank you for that.
Whew, I went all hot and cold when I tried to post and got 'thread closed'!
Alas, you are not. That title would go to us.
First amongst mere mortals, maybe?
Yes - I think it has settled down. Fewer technical glitches. Less hysteria about going national.
A bit more boring listening to road blocks in Peterborough than it used to be hearing about tube delays.
This subject will soon be appearing in his show as often as his Thursday show-off session (the name of which escapes me right now). Perhaps we can expect a dangerous dog weeky podcast? He obviously thinks it's got legs
I wouldn't mind but nothing new ever comes to the table.
And as I write this he's just, once again, thrown in the analogy between "no bad dogs just bad owners" with "no dangerous guns....". I'm no dog lover, can't stand them actually but oh my. Credit us with some intelligence James.
He really has turned into a parody of himself. Why is this little man STILL on LBC after 10 years? Why hasn't he been snapped up by someone else? Why does he not get invited on TV? (Apart from doing the paper review on Sky when someone else drops out). Why does his panel game show still only exist in a room above a pub with an audience of 45?
Answer: he's really not very good.
It's a thankless task bringing much needed reforms to the bloated benefits system.
Main LBC bed.

Whilst talking about that immigration programme he said ...
' .... the ridiculous Katie Hopkins and the even more ridiculous Anjem Choudary ... '
See, he doesn't spout rubbish all the time ;-)
Thank God Steve has his finger on the pulse.
I don't think this one has been posted either:

David Arnold talks to Chris Lowrie
There seems to be more energy from the presenters, and apart from the travel issues, I'm satisfied.
I'm also glad we havent has scores of "New listener here" or the presenter asking every call outside the M25 "How long have you been listening, where did you find us, what were you listening to before?"
I couldn't believe how much he had changed in four years. Then I realised that he is a different David Arnold from the one who did the Bond themes and "The Performance" CD with Shirl - and eleven years older. How confusing!
O Brien seemingly not content to make a local arse of himself now tries to go national .A tough ask but I reckon if anyone can - he can.
Way to go Jimbo
..and just to make sure of course you listen to and presumably enjoy the entire broadcast ;-)
Thanks Reg. That made me laugh ..
Who knows, perhaps it actually had more supporters than detractors amongst the listeners.
Keep up the good work James. We might yet remove him from the bridge.
I switched on to a fascinating call on JHB's show today, which was just luck as I was preparing to tune in to another station. It was from a DWP employee, exposing the pressure they are under to sanction people, with illegal targets, banned from informing people about their right to appeal, and so on.
Edit: Having paid my flaming taxes this ad: loses any impression it was trying to create in the first place. To those who haven't may feel still daunted by it, perhaps?
think youself lucky sweetpee, when I wake up, around ...... SA time I'll say no more !!!!:p
Oh your stiill here I see
SA is a blessing in disguise.
