I don’t like all the caller interaction on Sara’s show, I don’t care who’s getting married or whatever or couples quizzing.
I quite like the little quiz she does but I had to turn off the caller who rang about her mate doing PHD

Not to sound dramatic 🤣 but I’m just so sad about the current demise of Radio 2. I know lots of you have said it already, but just a few months ago it had a pretty good weekday line up and now I barely listen during the week. It’s also a worry about Trevor Nelson being poorly, he’d become one of my daily favourites.
Fingers crossed he’s on the mend before too long and that management sort the rest of it all out! 🤞🏻

I’m sure Radio 2 has shed a lot of listeners. It’s twee mixed with sentimental drivel. I’m too young for Radio 4 and too old for Radio 1. I’m turning off except for Vernon.

I only really listen on a morning out of habit and keep it on for Jeremy Vine. I switch to Absolute on a afternoon or Radio 1 Dance/Kisstory as I love house/dance/r&b

I just saw that Paul Gambacinni has been diagnosed with Alzheimers.

Not Paul! I love him. I can never read his name without saying "Gambacinni" in Steve Wright's voice. Hopefully it is slow-acting.

I really can’t cope with this breakfast show. It might settle and I might get used to it, but I think I’ll also be going back to Radio X.
I liked Sara at drivetlme so it’s not that I don’t like her, it’s just not working on breakfast. I particularly hate the kids in the car feature remaining and the rebranded Hatched Matched and Dispatched.

This is it, and I think she will find her feet but I find her so jarring on a morning. I ended up turning Chris off Radio X and listening to LBC 😂

I barely tolerated her in the afternoon but her style really doesn't suit that early in the mornings. Be interesting to see what the ratings are since she took over.

She used to be great when she covered for Chris Evans and I wanted her to get breakfast instead of Zoe. I think it’s the features which don’t work.

I loved her in the afternoon but she’s just too much in the morning at the moment. I’m sure she will settle in but yeah.

I think the features are too loud for the morning, I want to be entertained gently, it’s a bit too much sensory overload for my ears/brain. But as others have said, hopefully she settles.
