One thing we miss from the LBC days is people phoning in who don't understand the show. The people who phoned thinking it was talkSPORT was a close approximation.
Straight-to-air seemed really busy last night.
Russ phoning in again was in one way a bit surprising after the blazing row they had, but in another way not, as he had "resigned" and came back again before.
It was awkward, like two ex-lovers meeting by accident in the street.”
I had to laugh at the start of the Russ call he said "Hi Is this LBC" Iain clicked who it was straight away and played along.
There was also a few new callers last night which was nice, as i say i'm surprised about Fridays and there my favourite show of the week by far. The first couple of weeks Fridays were not as good as the other shows due to lack of callers however they seem to have now got really good. I'm not sure if this is people just realising Iain is back or if people were getting fed up of Nick Abbott during the EU Referendum. I'm a big fan of Nick but even i found him quite hard work for the last few months.
I think the some LBC callers not getting it was because of 2 reasons. 1st because before Iain arrived LBC was very much a serious debate/arts station all of a sudden theres a guy on doing things like lets shut down all the libraries or appreciation of smokers. The 2nd i think is the time of the day, you just wouldn't expect a show like that in the daytime where as at night i think you kind of expect it to be a bit more outrageous and slightly more nuts. With Iain being on a new station and on late nights i think your only gonna get a handful of people who phone in to find out what the heck is going on.
