I didn't hear that this morning. Although, I did find this cracking website: http://radio.garden/ So you can listen to our demise in multiple languages, should you wish!

The Gasbuster Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 4 minutes ago, Dr Balls said: Whoever thought Zoe Ball presenting a breakfast show was a good idea needs their head examining! No thanks... Ken Bruce and Popmaster is alright, as is Pick of the Pops for a bit of nostalgia on Saturday lunchtime, and the same on Sunday afternoon with Johnny Walker, but other than that it’s Radio 4, occasionally Radio 5 for the cricket, and then 6 Music on a Sunday evening with Tom Robinson and Stuart Maconie’s Freak Zone. The last of those is definitely a way of finding the interesting, the slightly bizarre and sometimes just very downright strange music. Dreadful on the t.v., dreadful on the radio. How anybody can enjoy her inane prattle, I really don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know what you mean. You could pop round and he'd lend you the drill bit you need. If you met him down the pub, he'd buy you a pint. And he does Popmaster. That's the only acceptable reason for listening to R2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Radio 6 - Steve Lamacq for me, plays a bit of everything. That and sport on RB as far as BBC radio is concerned. R2 went downhill years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ken asked me anything post 2000 I wouldn't have a clue. Some cheat as one guy said "I haven't heard this before, I haven't a clue." then on 1 got the very obscure answer right, even Ken sounded sceptical...

Gakoe Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Don't really bother too much with the radio now but thanks to the Forever Bristol City lads I downloaded Podbean, which led me to the Ricky Gervais podcast. Every XFM episode since about 2001 (minus the tunes). Hours and hours of brilliant nonsense. If you drive a lot like I do, it's bloody perfect.

Apart from Ken Bruce Radio 2 is complete rubbish, and irritating too. You realise just how bad it is when you move over to one of the many better alternatives that are available, in my case Boom. If Ken Bruce is that good, why haven't we signed him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I must have listened to the whole lot at least 3 times through, usually while working or doing the decorating or whatever. Much prefer the XFM shows to any of the newer stuff... once people work out why they're funny, they inevitably start trying to manufacture it and it no longer works.

Marlborough Red Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Stopped listening years ago. Too much inane chatter and phone ins. Completely hopeless play list. that doesn't appeal to anybody. . BBC should segment the programmes to meet differing audience needs . Radio 1 for the youngsters. Radio 2 for the huge market of over 40's who grew up in the 60's and 70's and 80's utilising the wealth of fantastic music created from the 50 's onwards. Radio 3 -Classical. Radio 4 - News , interviews ,politics plays etc. Radio 5 Sport. Radio 6 new alternative music. Their audience is rapidly falling as listeners have a choice of stations offering what people want as . Eg Magic FM .Local radio , Classic FM ,Talksport etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
