Doing an election special in Iain's slot seems to go against everything he's said and practised since he started on talkRADIO so maybe he doesn't want to look an hypocrite by doing it and would sooner just sit it out. Personally speaking I definitely don't want it it'll be on every other speech station tonight so I wish he was just doing a normal show. And this is from someone who is really interested in politics these days.

You're right Billy244, but I guess Talk Radio have realised that they need to do this kind of thing (and they can do it in their style) in order to ever be taken seriously as a speech based radio station and to get listeners to come over from LBC etc.

Yes point taken 156418 and a decent one at that, I guess there's about to be a good few changes at talkRADIO and I hope they look at changing about the weekends and set about making them more exciting and entertaining.

The answer to all these questions and more is NO.

I booked this off a few weeks ago. I'm looking after the kids tonight.

I do enjoy these comebacks Iain.

It was a great show.

He & Ash work so well together & picked up where they left off 8 years ago.

I was thinking that the 7pm slot was a bit more of a serious slot & I was a bit worried that James & Ash together at that time might not work, but I now think that it's a great idea because it gives you another diverse choice.

I like JHB too.

For some reason, I didn't take to her on LBC, but on TR, she's very good.

She's very good. The best thing on the station and I reckon with the new owners wanting to support there Sun newspaper & Sky News TV that she's exactly what they want as the radio station comes more political news and talk like US talk radio. I predict she will be doing the breakfast show next year & new presenters will join to replace those who can't too political talk radio with opinions. JHB is so good.

This brings up a point that annoys me with Iain. He goes on and on about what other stations may be doing 'Brexit', 'Black cab drivers' 'Racists'. We get it. But the amount of times Iain takes saying what other radio stations are doing, is just as dull and annoying as actually listening to those stations!

He's actually tuned into those stations and re-fed them on talk radio.. it's so bizarre! Go do your thing and stop worrying what other stations are doing.

We're getting new listeners every night. The show is still relatively new. I say it once a night for a max of 4 minutes. Sorry if you find 4 minutes of my show dull. I'm quite happy with that ratio.

I'm not worried about what others are doing. I am doing my thing. It's not bizarre. My show is so different from the others that a casual listener or someone who's found me by chance might not understand that. So, I'll explain. Thanks for your concern but trust me, I know what I'm doing.

I would suggest your post means I'm not doing it enough. I don't think I've ever mentioned 'racists' as a topic that LBC might be doing!

But, final edit, I take on board what you're saying. But there's no way I'm going to make the whole 3 hours enjoyable for everyone. I'm just grateful you listen at all

The interview from the American bar was putting me to sleep too.

I can't find a catch-up podcast for James 🐳 on the app. Does anyone have a link please?

There isn't an edited podcast but there is the normal Listen Again. For example, yesterday's show

http://talkradio.co.uk/radio/listen-again/1478631600

Looks like they are doing a 'best bits' podcast for Whale
http://talkradio.co.uk/james-whale-show-podcast

Not really a podcast though is it, more of a catch up link. Surely a podcast is something you can subscribe to, and download and listen to even when there no internet.

indeed, I was hoping to have something like that

It does have a stream/download address, but then I might as well record the whole show with Net Transport as I do with LBC shows.

Jon's show today was billed as an election special. That made me slightly concerned that it was going to be a 100% straight show. It was already billed as an election special yesterday but when the result came in I was worried they would drop him altogether, like they did on 24 June. But having listened to the first two hours of the show so far, I think he got the mix of serious election talk, satire and the usual nonsense absolutely right.

Paul Ross is doing another Trump special this Sunday 11am to 3pm.

The Schedule has:

11:00 The Week That Rocked the World with Paul Ross
14:00 Jerry Springer's Election Special

First time I have seen Talkradio quoted in the media: this mornings paper quoted Nigel Farage on 'James Whales Talkradio show'.

Which paper? One of Murdoch's for a guess. There has been a bit of cross-promotion creeping in on Twitter recently.

The Sun and Sky News were being mentioned on James Whale's show yesterday in connection with the Nigel Farage interview.

The discussion they had was the sort of thing that would have feminists outraged, but it doesn't seem to have caused a storm.

Perhaps Donald Trump's victory has overshadowed everything to such an extent, that Nigel Farage can go on Talkradio and makes light of Donald Trump's behaviour towards women, without doing damage to his political career or his party. I don't think it can be put down to poor listening figures when it has been covered by media outlets which larger audiences.

The Guardian and The Metro (if that counts!?)

A modest improvement to the talkRADIO website.

Under "Radio" it now says "Schedule/Listen Again"
