Thank you for your interest in my radio listening habits BanglaRoad. I switched from LBC to another station at approximately 10.10 am today.
Iain Dale mentioned that GOB had texted (or maybe twitted, I don't recall) him that this first day back at work after Christmas and New Year there was the usual paucity of calls and rather quiet switchboard. Iain's response was that in this (his) first hour the switchboard was practically melting and perhaps it was all to do with the subject of discussion. |

My dear friend, you've become unaccountably picky towards posters on here. Why do you want to swot them like moths circulating around a lampshade, NOT yours necessarily which I do need to point out.
![]() I do understand that some would like this place to be an echo chamber but that's not how it works. As for being picky towards posters then perhaps have a look at some of your recent posts to me recently. Anyways enjoy your lbc listening, even when you're not

AFAIK this is an open public forum and if you post you can expect replies.

We all have good days and bad days.......but he seems to be having many, many bad days in succession. I'm not talking about his politics, before you pick up on that Bangles. I, and clearly many others, think that Gobber is becoming tedious, boring and a predictable presenter, a dullard, a bore. Maybe he's hacked off that no-one is clamouring to get him on the telly box as much as he desires, but I do feel his 'performance' as a phone in host is going down the crapper 🙀 |

Hitler's Mein Kampf was reprinted last year in Germany for the 1st time since WWII. It's sold 85K copies since then. Brian used this info to try and say that there are lots of NAZIS in Germany. He seems to be losing the plot with his NAZI fascination. Cracking stuff and I can see this escalating ala the hapless Gaunt.

I suspect that you are part of a growing army redvers (obviously not a Nazi one, or maybe we are all Nazis......according to Gobber) who see Gob as delivering mediocre radio.

Increased listening figures and a new contract suggest otherwise.
I expect Gobbers listeners are on the wane due to his recent poor show So, do tell, how much was Gobbers new contract worth and how long was he signed up for? Some facts would be nice |

I also think James O'Brien has declined. I'm sure there has been an increase in the amount of assumptions he makes about what people who have views opposite to his are thinking and how they are reacting. |

I think Steve must have overdone the jelly babies this morning. He's sounding slightly manic, skipping from one thing to another, repeating himself and throwing out random sentences without explaining why.
He doesn't think he should try and lose weight in case he looks gaunt and people think he's ill. Gaunt! He'd have to lose half his body weight before he came anywhere close to gaunt! ![]() Morning all.

Gob (is) delivering mediocre radio.
I'm not talking about his politics, before you pick up on that i do feel his 'performance' as a phone in host is going down the crapper 🙀 I do not believe you when you say 'it is not his politics'. I think it is his politics that make you and others here dislike his show. The (very) rare occasions when his numerous critics here praise his show occur when he does not talk about politics. I am not a radio professional, I admit I cannot tell whether JOB''s or anyone else's radio skills are particularly good or bad, with the exception - I think - of James Whale and Danny Baker, whom I believe to be naturally talented radio broadcasters. I think JOB's skills are to the same level as everyone else's on LBC. He is , after all, competent enough to be used on a national radio station. I mostly agree with JOB's views (his admiration of Michael Gove excepted) , and I utterly reject Farage's views. I listen to these 2 shows, and no other, because of the political views expressed, not the skills of the broadcasters. |

Steve will have us know he is a teensy but taller than Tom (Daley) who stands a proud 5' 10'' Oh deary me. |
