You don't need iTunes for that. Just right click on any of the "Play Now" links and choose the save option.

This lack of callers is increasingly putting me off listening. A lot of the guests appear on other radio and television shows. I have heard the same guest on TalkRadio and LBC on the same day

JHB's show moves from one issue to another very quickly. That will only discourage people from calling in because they think the show has moved on and they are no longer discussing what the caller would have called in about.

When you've been listening to a presenter long enough, you have a good idea what they will think. For example, I know JHB wants the UK to leave the EU. I knew that long before the shouting match at the beginning of her show. This isn't the US. I don't think people tune into shows just to get the perspectives of their guests. They want to hear the wider range of perspectives that only callers - who aren't simply repeating their arguments over and over like guests - can offer.

How long until guests conclude that if there are few calls there are few listeners, and so appearing on the station is a waste of time? How long until presenters become demoralised because they don't have an audience as large as they think they should?

I think confidence presenters and guests have in the station will start to decrease from August after the listening figures are published.

It's a site which enhances RSS feeds making them more user-friendly.

I don't think I've ever heard bareback with an escort mentioned on the radio at any time of day, never mind 1 o'clock in the afternoon!

It's mental isn't it..... I don't know how long it'll carry on, so I'm enjoying it while it lasts!

Did you happen to notice the caller names on the big debate on Friday (I think) when all that super injuction stuff was kicking off?

Paul Ross-Master is a great quiz too ...

Weaponised Katie Hopkins

This is the best yet...

Did feel a bit Sorry for the guy on the lonely lunch club today, as he seemed clearly to have Aspergers or something, probably why he was still Fairly childlike.

But good on the guy for taking it as a bit of fun

I noticed they didn't keep him on as long as normal. Well handled really.

Show ended with a Spotted... Sunshine from Big brother in battersey dogs home shoving watermelons* up dogs anus'.

*I think it was watermelons, or other stupid fruit and/or veg!!

I can now see how my earlier post reads but it wasn't meant that way it reads, I want more callers per show but what I was trying to say was I hope they're not getting low callers because listeners aren't listening to the station and I hope it's been planned to have less calls and more presenter participation. [oh hell it's now making less sense]

If it's a planned thing to have less callers per show I think that's a wrong move and they should change it.

I've not had much time to get used to it yet but it's seems after having a go on it Iain Lee's talkRADIO podcasts only last about half an hour each on that FeedBurner website.

Those are supposed to be about half an hour long as they are "best of" podcasts. talkRADIO does not do official full show podcasts but plan to do so in the future (see my message from earlier today).

If you want full shows, then the enthusiast Matthew Stephenson uploads edited shows unofficially

Thanks mate I appreciate you doing all that it's just what I wanted. [even edited with the news etc taken out it seems judging by how this one's started off brilliant]
If/when talkRADIO start official IL podcasts will you mention it at the time if you can.

Either he hates that woman, or he is doing a fine impersonation of a man who does. Every day their handover is super uncomfortable (for Julia).

I was thinking exactly that today as I sent a text to her about one of her topics. Almost as soon as I hit the send button she was on to something else. It seems almost as if she is cramming in a bit too much in to provide lots of content, but it can get a bit overwhelming.

This is in stark contrast to the Gould Bros who I am listening to right now - who have just spent the last hour chatting about tipping serving staff. A much more chilled and less urgent conversation.

Delaney's show is also fairly unstructured as he just slid back and forth among the conversations - I got the feeling you could have called and talked about anything at any point in the show.

The show does consistently make me laugh out loud, I don't think I've enjoyed a radio show as much since Nick Abbot was on the previous TalkRADIO.

I don't think that's the case, because they keep giving out the number, and no ccallers come on air, so they don't appear to be turning callers away. If they are turning callers away when giving out a number from which they are making money, could they not be in trouble with Ofcom?

The station probably plannedned to have lots of guests in case there aren't many callers, and not because they'd rather have lots of guests than have lots of callers. Lots of callers would be proof the station was very successful.

Jon Holmes show for example isn't a Caller related show though is it, he keeps saying it isn't.

And he doesn't give out the number, just the text & Twitter but it's not really a phone in show anyway.

Even when he wants contestants for his bizarre quizzes he wants people to text in or to message on Twitter rather than phone in. He doesn't seem to have a problem getting people to enter, even, as on yesterday's show, when there is no prize, not even meat.

A radio station that uses the tagline "we'll get you talking" wants callers Billy, surely that is self evident?

Singing a track on air in a deep voice - someone needs to do Wandrin' Star by Lee Marvin!

It actually kept the Beatles Let It Be off No1 did that one.

That is not necessarily true it could also mean they are encouraging conversation in general between the listening public, not phoning in and talking to the presenter. I'm aware the presenters call out the phone number on a regular basis but that doesn't mean they are desperate for calls either. It could merely be giving the impression they want calls, but the company line is to slowly phase out the listeners input maybe get them used to having shows with very little callers. Ultimately it boils down to this, either they planned to have the expensive number to limit calls on purpose, because they want the listeners to get used to a more phone interview format. Or the bosses are complete idiots they genuinely wanted a steady flow of calls to each show, not realising a premium number that could cost over 50p a minute might cause a slight problem.

Personally the only shows i've enjoyed listening to so far are Johnny & Ash, Iain Lee & The Unexplained. I'm not in a position to listen to Jon Holmes easily due to my job working late shifts, but from what i've heard I reckon i'd probably enjoy listening to him also. One thing is for sure if Iain Lee's show had only 2 or 3 calls throughout and became more pre-arranged interview driven I would definitely be tuning out. I like the interaction with callers some regular, some one off's like the drunk aussie teachers. I feel it makes for a very entertaining show that random mixture that only callers can bring. Despite the Gould brothers having a lack of calls I like their banter and with the few listeners they do have phoning in they always have a good laugh with them. The Unexplained is not helped by the lack of genuine callers, also some of the guests sound a bit monotone & boring and some topics that are discussed are hardly going to engage the listeners. I can imagine some people thinking 'this is a load of tosh' and switching off which is a shame as I do like the show format, but it may not have a wide enough appeal. Maybe he would be better off sticking to controversial and popular topics such as ghosts & poltergeists, ufo's and various conspiracies. The lock ness monster probably isn't the ideal subject matter when initially trying to build a show up.

Some people who aren't reading the Iain Lee thread may be interested to hear the last half hour of Iain's show last night because Jon Holmes and Ginger Producer Dave were on it. There was a launch party for talkSPORT 2, Virgin and talkRADIO so Jon and Dave decided to visit Iain's show after the party.
