He was basically saying that Twitter sucks compared to DS because there is effective moderation on here meaning that posts can be removed and posters sanctioned. He might have been talking about abuse he had in the past in reaction to his TV appearances, say on Big Brother.

Ah, the LBC thread full of regulars who never seem to leave their front rooms and own radios without off buttons and the retune function.

All getting a bit fractious with Iain and Katherine and along comes Nigel.

One of the things I like, is to hear interviews with people like Stu Phillips. I didn't know who he was, but learned about him and found it interesting. It makes a change from the celebrity roundabout type interview. The same was true with Gilbert O'Sullivan a week or so ago.

Again I'm not a big fan of The Monkees or Beach Boys, but I still like to hear the odd tune by them. It's all part of learning or hearing things you don't hear elsewhere. The music is part of who Iain is; the same as Danny Baker. And they are the ones who make interesting radio shows.

My post on here today regarding Iain being way too hard on Kathy on air and a potential meltdown has magically disappeared!
WTF DS?

It's the same when I watch a doc on BBC4., I might not listen to a groups music but I love hearing the stories behinds the music

I've watched the 'altercation' between Kath and Iain from last night - she's smiling as she goes off, he's smiling as she goes... Yes, it was a disagreement, but it was clearly a disagreement between two mates who are still mates. This forum really has a way of blowing things out of proportion sometimes...

My post was deleted too

All I said was last night wasn't very good and I listened to an LBC podcast instead, even Iain on Twitter has said it was crap!

Calm down DS

I avoid reading DS until after I have listened to the show to avoid spoilers. I have normally finished listening to the show by 8 or 9 in the morning, but today I didn't finish listening until an hour ago. I obviously missed some drama.

Classic Jonathan last night. He confesses that he has never seen the original 80s Ghostbusters, at least from start to finish. He had previously complained that the new Ghostbusters ruins his childhood memory, simply because it stars women. Iain then asks if Jonathan had seen the new Ghostbusters, obviously he hadn't. Iain even offers to buy pay for his ticket but he said it would take a huge amount of money.

Obviously the main controversy was the argument between Iain and Kath about whether it was appropriate to comment on whether Kate or Pippa Middleton is more attractive. It was uncomfortable (i.e. good) listening, and I was especially taken aback when he called her a dick. At the end of the argument, Iain asked if Kath wanted to do the podcast and she went off, not to be heard again for the rest of the show. I watched it on Periscope and I saw the smiling. I doubt there is permanent (or even temporary) damage done. However, some of the people commenting on Periscope thought it had gone too far.

The lack of women phoning up came up again last night. Is the show too blokey? That question was posed regularly on the LBC and Absolute shows. But then two of the main woman callers came up soon after. Penny gave her excuse that some women are busy because it is the end of the school year. Hannah chewed the fat about the hot weather.

Just before midnight, Iain turned off the Periscope saying "It is going to be a long last hour of the show, guys. You don't need to see a man dying." It was the first full hour in a long while without Kath in the studio, but she would have to have gone away in any case because there was the bonus podcast to be done. Callers were scarce in the last hour and so Iain probably would have preferred Kath to be there but the geeky chat about old audio technology appealed to me.

Seemed no reason to delete our comments. Odd.

Agree. Any idea why DS are deleting posts with even a hint criticism of the show?
It's my first time on the Radio forums and it all seems a bit different here than to the rest of DS. 🤔

Rob's call to Stephen was also very funny, he said he had downloaded what he thought was Pokemon Go but he thought he got the wrong version as his was just called Poke and he had to hunt for Beaver.

It's annoying that Iain's faders still are not working, it's been over a week now. As I've said before TWG's technical stuff is very poor, Jon Holmes seemed to be extremely pissed off by it a few weeks ago.

I've a feeling it's Iain himself that's complaining.

I agree with you. That was my first thought, that Iain is reporting posts.
He was talking about how good the mods are on here only the other night. It's kind of very petit of him if that is the case. Some of the posts at just a critic of the damn show if he wants to act like a fool on public radio the we should be allowed to comment on it!
Calm down Mods😆

In case you were wondering why there is no podcast for Wednesday night, apart from the bonus podcast for the interview, Kath just Tweeted:

“We weren't happy with Wednesday's show so the bonus pod is all we're putting out from it.”

He mentioned last week he had an interview with one of the Shaggs (look them up, it's a bizarre story) coming up, has anything more been said?

I feel embarrassed for him if he spends his days trawling thsee forums to report any critics to the mods.
C'mon, if you don't like what people say then stay out of the spotlight

The Monkees are getting so much good coverage on BBC Radio 2 at the moment. Interviews on Steve Wright, Simon Mayo, great airplay for their recent single, that multi-part documentary for their 50th anniversary and so much more.

Iain must be sick as a dog.

My first thought at seeing that video was, "that's someone's dad" and then I worried about his kids one day hearing remarks about it at school.

Are you talking about Steve Allen?

I didn't much enjoy the spat with Kath, despite regulars who know more of Iain's ways than I do, saying that it was a joke. I sensed that she did get a bit upset. But I can understand that as a longstanding team who know each other well, they may act like that and get over it quickly. It just didn't look professional watching on Periscope.

Also, the same night when Iain swiftly switched the Scope session off, I cut off my nose to spite my face maybe, but I didn't bother tuning in to the radio to listen to the remainder of the show, as a sort of 'tit for tat'. I reckon that Iain's medication and medical condition may play a part in both of these little events.

Let's see if this post remains!
