So did any of you kind souls buy a copy of The Big Issue from O'Brien yesterday in Covent Garden as part of 'Volunteers Week'?

No doubt he'll have something to say about the topic on this morning's show.

James has also made negative comments about the titles added to clips on the LBC website. Apparently they get more clicks if they exaggerate. I get the feeling James isn't impressed either.

Yes, he will be commenting today. You can watch his endeavours here:

Clive Bull may have been good once but now he's radio wallpaper, his show is very rarely remotely interesting.

q agree about Clive. he should be re named clive dull. sooo boring. not an ounce og humour, energy or charisma. same boring thing every eve. well past his sell by.

also..fanny allen today trying to discuss american politics. hopelessly out of his depth. not a clue. stick to kerry katona etc steve. you cant do news!!!! it was q awful.

I'm afraid he's become what I call Globalised
It happened to Anthony Davis
And Ian Collins too
It's as if all their former sparkle and wit is exorcised from them
Then just occasionally you get the odd hint of what was
I think it's the sticking to a rigid agenda that does it
Too much politics and health issues
I think that's why people are hoping against hope for some lighter stuff from the reincarnation of Talk Radio uk
If they catch on then maybe just maybe LBC may also loosen up a bit
We can only hope

You are correct in that it's usually newer broadcasters that are off put by this however I have known experienced broadcasters also do this.

In his left ear he would have the output in his right he would just be hearing his own voice as you would in normal day to day life. With both headphones on you can get a strange reverb effect that is alot less noticeable with one ear.

In regards to monitoring the desk ouput I've never known this to be done unless it's not possible not have a Off Air ouput. Once compression and limiting has been applied it can sound very different to the desk ouput hence why you would listen to a off air output.

LBC use a pre delay feed to listen to in the studio.

I tend not to listen to the first hour and my preference would be for the whole show to be Politics or hard news. But that is just me.
I think Iain Dale is a great radio presenter and a very likeable bloke.

I am not impressed with Ian Collins. He sounds like a Right Winger pretending to be neutral and "a nice bloke" but often the mask slips. The last time I listened he was looking on twitter right at the end of his show, and getting upset that people had sussed him on this.....

Poor Boris is getting an absolute roasting by both Ferrari and callers on 'Call Boris'

Magic.

I don't know that Ian pretends to be neutral. He comes across as right-wing and that doesn't preclude him from being a "nice bloke".

Johnny the black cab driver was excellent. Had Boris in full retreat.

Saw on another thread that George Galloway has tweeted that he will have a new show on national radio soon. Sounds like GG has signed for the new station so we may well have heard the last from him on LBC.

Is this the Johnny the cab driver who used to post a lot on here?

Don't know Ven. I am a relative newcomer to this thread and can't recall him but am sure some of our long stay inmates might know

OK Bangla. The caller (and former poster) I am thinking about was Johnny from Brixton, does anyone know if that was him this morning?

Yes I saw it too (Good morning by the way )😄
Wonder who else they've got up their sleeves
I think we can take it as certainty that Iain Lee is on board ?

George Galloway and Iain Lee co-hosting a radio show would be interesting Sorry, off topic, couldn't resist.

I believe so He's certainly very vocal on the Facebook LBC page if you care to have a look 😄

It certainly would .. They'd have to widen the studio doors to fit their egos through 😂😱

That first caller to JOB was excellent. Plenty of good points and was clear and articulate. That is the standard other callers should aim for.

I'm assuming it was and I'll be honest I thought cab drive Johnny and the man from Brixton are one and the same
If not they both have exactly the same opinion on the lack of non white presenters on LBC and Johnny from Brixton is most certainly on the LBC Facebook group which by the way is not affiliated with the station despite what many think
LBC have their own page

Thanks Paul. Johnny posted loads on here but suddenly was gone. I'll leave it there, but would say it's a shame when posters flounce, every opinion is a worthy opinion as far as I am concerned.

I don't think Jonny actually flounced; he just stopped posting. Flouncers usually change their mind and wriggle back after a few weeks.

Just checked his Facebook page and guess the photo of a black cab yellow taxi sign is a dead give away !!😄
I too found many of his posts quite entertaining
One thing you may perhaps be able to enlighten me about if you can
I was an LBC listener only occasionally when I went down to my company's head office at Park Royal until LBC went on DAB but I'm sure I can remember him as a very regular contributor to Steve Allens show ?
However when I started to listen full time as it were and began to post on the Facebook page after being invited on there by two of Steves fans I discover he had seemingly turned against Steve big time
I just wondered why ??
I won't bring flouncing up either (oh bu##er just did) as I was accused of doing that myself on several occasions on here
And in fairness I probably did 😄

Or in my case several months gs 😄😄😄
