JOB show is designed to make listeners take another look at a subject hence his fifteen minutes or so at the start when he gives some background and why he has reached where he is in his thinking.
Maybe he is short with callers because they have not thought about the topic and failed to answer the fairly specific questions he puts to set up the debate. His show is not for callers who just want to repeat whatever the days paper has to say. If dog whistle radio is what you want then JOB is going to grind your gears but if you want to perhaps hear a side of an argument that maybe passes you by then this is a good show. He is frequently rude to callers but IMO they ask for it a lot of the time. If you call him up and don't have anything constructive to add then you get the rudeness. I hear a lot of things from LBC presenters that annoy me and TBH JOB giving a caller a verbal kicking comes way down the list. |

I never said you did, did I?
I was quoting you as a basis for making my own point. Not everything discussed in relation to Steve Allen on this thread has an automatic connection to you. Love_You You had a dig yesterday at me saying my posts were tiresome I'm assuming you are doing your best to make me lose my temper and it's not going to happen |

How does someone ringing a radio station "ask for it " BanglaRoad. I do not recall anyone asking James O'Brien to be rude to them?

Steve Allen doesn't allow Don Black to get a word in edgeways. How is this considered an interview?

I found Steve over-talking Don quite mild in comparison to some of his interviews. Don managed to put Steve firmly in his place about lyrics being able to be transported from musical to musical, Don quietly and firmly reminded Steve that what worked for Sunset Boulevard would not work for all of Lloyd-Webber's other musicals. Steve also had a couple of his own version of musical theatre 'facts' corrected by Don. For someone who has such a love of the theatre you would have that Steve could get at least that right?
![]() The recent interview with Lisa Falconer I found toe-curling, it was 30 minutes of Steve telling her "I can't cook" and her responding "but of course you can .. ". ![]() I purposely did not listen to Marion Keyes, who proclaims herself to be Strictly Come Dancing's biggest fan. She never did it again but the first time she was a guest on It Takes Two she referred to the title of the main show as 'Strictly Ballroom' ... [there is not an emoticon in existence to reflect the depths of this particular gaff .. ] |

Steve and Don have been friends for many years
Don knows exactly what he's like and handles him accordingly And as this must be at least the fourth in conversation he's done with Steve he's obviously got no problem with him I merely replied to a poster which I believe I'm allowed to It's becoming quite obvious you don't like me and I'm fine with that but I've as much right to be on here as anyone else |

It is a turn of phrase. Put it this way, it is the JOB show so up to him and his bosses as to how he runs it. Seems like the folk who pay his wages are happy enough. Callers need to get the message that they had better be clear, concise and constructive if they are going to call.

You mean in the first few seconds or so before he decides they need to be talked over? Some callers barely get a sentence out before he starts. Obviously some people think that's fine and just tough luck to the caller but I think it would be much better radio if he actually gave them time to state their view then answered, you know, like a conversation. |

Steve Allen at his ignoarnt worst this morning...... talking about people who use a sleeve or hankie to use when opening a public toilet door....... "I don't know anyone whoever got ill from a door handle"........
Errr....... Novo Virus, one of the most infectious bugs about passed on by dirty so and sos who don't wash their hands and then use the loo door handle, the virus is then passed on to the next bloke who uses the door handle. Allen is a tool. (and not a useful one).

Fair play to Nick Ferarri for having some independent voices on between 8 and 8.30. They were discussing the deal Cameron has struck and the concensus seemed to be that the deal is far from perfect but there are some beneficial points in it. The phrase "the devil is in the detail" cropped up a few times but sadly a lot of the loudest voices in this debate ignore detail and keep hammering away at a set of stock phrases.
Never mind, only 124 days to go........... |

Never mind, only 124 days to go........... A caller finished by saying "Whether we like it or not, we're still part of Europe." To which Nick replied along the lines of "Well, we''ll see if that is still the case following the upcoming referendum." I do wish people would stop confusing 'Europe' with the 'EU'. We will still be part of Europe no matter which way the vote goes. I predict a love-fest between NF and Boris. Yuck. |

Every sentence that Caroline Lucas attempted to utter was faded down by NF in order for him to interrupt.

Missed Caroline Lucas but in Ferarri world she is a tree hugging, sandal wearing, add your own insult here hippy and therefore only exists for the unthinking to mock.

Ferarri should have listened to Clive Bull last night to know why it makes no difference to a security threat to the UK if we leave the EU.

Oh dear. The first two callers have not made a glowing case for why the English seem to struggle with identity. Old lady talking rubbish about passports and then a guy moaning about Alex Salmond being on LBC.

Prediction. Over the next few days or weeks, LBC's very own little Lord Fauntleroy, young master Brian (aged 44) will launch into several pro-EU rants.

Gotta give some credit to Ferrari for trying to present a balanced program on the EU referendum but the arguments of some of his callers are truly shocking.
I'd much prefer to hear from the 'undecideds' rather than those who have already taken an in/out stance. It's this group who will make the difference. |

I want to hear from more non political who do not have a dog in the race (see how I got that in) and can give a view which is based on fact instead of ideology. |

The argument that there will be increased risk to national security is a red herring. Norway didn't do very well in stopping Anders Brevik from murdering 77 people, many of them children. Britain's UK foreign policy is more likely to influence terrorism activity than whether Britain leaves or stays in the EU.
