Steve's got Boy George coming in today to record an In Conversation. I've never heard him say anything about BG that wasn't absolutely vile! Even Steve admits it could be 'interesting'.

No. Not everyone finds knowledge interesting.

To say that presenters on LBC are far-right is ridiculous. The majority come across as right-wing, but that reflects the electorate. As they are a commercial station, they are going to try to reach the largest possible audience.
the electorate is fairly evenly split , they choose not to have bame presenters and criteria appears to be a love for israel and the board of deputies. Quote:
Perhaps you should listen to a radio station that fits your agenda and political viewpoint, if you can find one. It could make you much happier.
JoB claims to love jamie oliver and martin lewis. both of these individuals have made millions on the back of having the image of being so called 'peoples champions'. the latter whose website was supported by many contributors & who believed his promise that he would never sell it for personal gain and would run it always as a non profit organisation. JoB loves money (middle class aspiration to 1%-er) but wants to off-set his guilt with this kind of fake altruism. these lbc media 1%-ers ignoring the disability (etc) cuts and running with the unworkable sugar tax. |

Steve's second In Conversation this weekend is Fay Weldon. This will be interesting, Fay Weldon will brook no silly talk for sure, she gave Jo Good on BBC London a really hard time recently in a short 5 minute interview, Fay was having none of Jo making it about herself and for asking the "wrong" question. I actually like Jo Good, she is very much a female Steve Allen (it's all about me) but she does it with humour and self deprecation [and yes I know JG is the true definition of Marmite]

so platforming ukip and similar isnt far right? (where do you think ex bnp and edl have gone) their non stop anti muslim anti islam anti immigrant anti welfare anti eu is standard far right fodder. the electorate is fairly evenly split , they choose not to have bame presenters and criteria appears to be a love for israel and the board of deputies. thats a silly comment.

Last night I switched over for awhile to Duncan Barkes. A caller asked him for his views on a particular subject. Duncan said wef that he is not employed to give his own view on subjects ... that was the nature of the BBC.
Could you imagine NF or J O'B, for example, not being allowed to express their own opinion. Thank goodness for LBC! |

Oh dear, I know J O'B is genuinely concerned about his topic this morning - cuts in disablement benefits - but I wish he wouldn't speak to callers as though he's soothing a toddler with a grazed knee. He's also doing that thing of putting words in their mouth by finishing their sentences for them. He's had some heart-breaking calls but he is milking it!

I think your post sums up for me all that is wrong with J'OB. Vanessa covered the same topic earlier today, some of her calls were heart-breaking. Vanessa was clearly moved by what she was hearing and came across in that way.

Vanessa was very good indeed, but I think she usually is. Certainly a much better option that Nick Ferrari, IMO.
Nick is still #1 in my opinion. |

It wears off when they become teens and develop the attention span of a gnat and you then have to speak very fast to impart information. |

I disagree. Feltz just doesn't seem to work as well on the breakfast show as she did on the mid morning slot. She is capable of presenting an excellent phone-in but she is more suited to a James O'Brien style slot than a fast-paced breakfast show.
Nick is still #1 in my opinion. However, for me, she is still miles better than the unpleasant Ferrari. |

I have a theory that people who spend a good amount of time during the day caring for under 10s, develop this habit of speaking slowly in a sing song voice. It's a similar criticism of Beverley Turner.

A long, long time ago I spent a couple of years as an assistant in a nursery school, herding 3&4-year-olds around. I developed a high-pitched, jolly hockey sticks voice, probably influenced by Joyce Grenfell and her struggles with Sydney and George. Luckily it soon wore off!

Wonder if he'll ever play the Rolf Harris one again.
http://lbclondon.cmsglobalradio.com/...ew/19113#19135 (pic. 26 - Rolf Harris & Mr Blobby) Fanny still only seems to look about 40/41 thoughout though. Amazing how he always seems to look the same - cough....cough....splutter. He was heralding his '41st' birthday yesterday btw. |

Wise words from Iain. They should have it pinned up over the mics.
Iain Dale @IainDale 31m31 minutes ago Bromley, London Breaking news is a balance between reporting it as u know it & repeating it 4 new listeners without irritating those who've already heard it |

I made the mistake of naming one of mine George and spent years sounding like Joyce Grenfell! It made me cringe everytime I bellowed it in the park.
