Gave Oli another chance this morning. After an hour of men's mental health and depression I decided I was right in my initial impression. He's a Jobby clone. He wallows in other people's misery; the soft, confidential voice; the words and jargon out of Counselling For Idiots; calling male callers 'mate'. Ugghhh!
This isn't a universal theory, it's just a theory. A lot of people who work in and/or are attracted to work in broadcast media are prone to have, or do have, mental health problems. They then think everyone else must have, so they constantly bang-on about it, day after day after day after day. Eventually, everyone starts to believe that they too have mental health issues such as depression (when they don't). Also, if the broadcaster does have mental health issues, it will make them feel slightly better about their own issues if they see other people do too (even if they have been brainwashed into believing it). Again, it's my own theory and no doubt a cock-eyed one! But I'm sticking with it.
