Congratulations. You've just set the world record for using the word 'caller' five times in one sentence. It would have been an even greater achievement had it made sense.
ack! iain dale's got another of his mates a gig on lbc - maajid nawaz. as if lbc didnt have enough anti islam presenters already!

Another person who doesn't understand the concept on Talkradio ! If you just want to hear lots of callers with little presenter input & lots of balance which will keep you happy I suggest 5live or any BBC station . That is what they have to do . LBC & Talkradio / Talksport is a different format . One I much prefer .

the problem is that lbc presenters do mostly believe in what they say.
the only credible host is nick abbot - he can and does play it all directions and hes about the most informative.

doesnt wash with me. she is an islamophobe. yes she is calculated in how and who she targets but she is certainly not faking it.

bit of a hypocrite and part of the cristo-iain dale clique . i dont think we needed any more islamophobes .
listened for a while, most of his callers were his 'friends' so was left unchallenged. it was really him and his ego.

hes not that evolved by all accounts. he failed horribly in the elections. but he provides a service as a 'native informant' on behalf of governments and like minded media hacks.

Yes, I did shut the caller off in the end, because she was talking complete and utter bollocks. Doing so does not mean I support Donald Trump. It means I don't want people lying to my listeners.
We had two other calls from people who made other stupid claims and I took them on. If you seriously think that utter loons should be given free rein to spout their conspiracy theories, fine, go and listen to another radio station.
If a caller had made such idiotic accusations against Hillary Clinton I'd have handled it in exactly the same way. It's called responsible broadcasting.
Happy Saturday”

You needn't have written all of this, Iain- you should have just posted a link to a photo of your "Radio Presenter of the Year" award in response!
Nick abbot is a old has been. Time for him and cristo to be gotten rid of. The weekends overnight in general are poor.

I do like the show. It provides a useful purpose and as far as I know is the only one of its type.
It's only 2 hours a week. What's the problem?

Did I hear that right just now? Nick is leaving? Sacked or resigned?

He seemed to suggest that was true in response to a caller, but there is nothing on the Radio Today website.

Didn't think so.
He's joking at the handover with Cristo about his "apparent leaving" saying getting fired normally happens after the show not during it. Where did all that come from in the first place then? Says he's back next weekend.

Still on the presenter list for now - but then so was David Mellor last week.

I wondered what happened to David this morning. I assumed he was just taking summer off whilst Parliament was in recess?

More's the pity. Did I just hear the ignorant one, whom I believe was once a DJ say that Pete Seeger was English, and in virtually the same sentence that skiffle wasn't a British phenomenon.
Maybe he is moving to a station where he can revert to his old style of shows - more open line and less topic led.

TalkRadio I wonder?
Nick said you can download my podcast every week. It's around 20 minutes and exciting and my blog too. Plus be back next Friday and Saturday before he handed over to Cristo. Wouldnt have said that if he was leaving.

He's not an MP anymore.
Apparently Olly Mann and Petrie Hoskin are back next weekend so say the schedule🙄...Katie Hopkins covering David Mellor
