Steve said he started smoking again. One a week I think. Did I mishear that or am I right?
LBC certainly needs a good shake up at the weekend.Link to previous thread https://tattle.life/threads/lbc-radio.4305/
So, quick recap, no one likes listening to James o' Brian, Nick abbot isn't hitting the spot anymore with the stale Brexit talk and same old rants and LBC in general needs a shake up.
Seems to be a thing all across the board. No one wants to present at weekends so they stick any old rubbish onLBC certainly needs a good shake up at the weekend.
Oh that's fair enough then. I was in a bit of a sleepy daze when I heard it. I thought he was talking about this weekend haha. I can't remember if he has, but has he mentioned how long ago he gave up smoking?Just grabbed this from the previous thread before it's closed ...
You misheard. Steve didn't say he'd started smoking again. He was recalling how he had smoked 60 a day then gave up for 2 years then bought a packet thinking he could just have one a week but it didn't work out like that (it never does). He then went on to talk about his 8 stents.
I didn't think he'd started again. Even he isn't that daft.
( OT but I've always been slightly impressed with someone who can just have the odd cigarette. I have a friend who can have 2 or 3 on a night out then stop again completely. I was never that disciplined. Haven't had a cigarette in 27 years now )
I listened to his rant this morning (20 minutes!) and he really is starting to sound manic. Perhaps a few more sessions with his therapist wouldn't go amiss. He must be hell to live with.Another excellent effort from Nick Ferrari this morning. Still getting the big interviews with the Environment Secretary on his show.
Then we get James who is plainly itching to blame Brexit from any rise in Covid numbers. Presumably on the grounds that his Project Fear proclamations have worked so well. Oh wait!
Still I suppose if he keeps throwing the mud something might eventually stick.
Last week he had the audacity to say that after therapy he no longer felt the urge to fight with everyone who he disagreed with. No, he doesn't fight he's just supercilious and demeaning.I listened to his rant this morning (20 minutes!) and he really is starting to sound manic.

I thought that long before the lock down but they still seemed to keep increasing the ratings each time the Rajars came out.I genuinely think LBC is so over. The presenters and the one hour format has had it's day.
I left when they were banging on about Brexit and Trump, hour after hour with every presenter. So boring!
I can imagine it is now about Israel, am I right?
Anyone still listening to him, come over to the fun side at Talk Radio at 10am on weekdays!
I like Times Radio at 10am too. Thank god for catch up so I can listen back to other shows.I genuinely do not understand how anyone can listen to James O'Brien.
That depressing monologue every morning, when I listened I felt like slitting my wrists after it.
I was delighted to find Talk Radio, and move over to Mike Graham at 10am.
I absolutely do not agree with everything he says, but he does make me laugh!
And I don't feel so depressed at the end.

The BBC WorldService can be good, I listen to it a fair bit, you get some great topics & reports from around the world, that & Times Radio are maybe as good as it gets, variety-wise, on d.a.b.radio.I like Times Radio at 10am too. Thank god for catch up so I can listen back to other shows.
Does anybody wish there was a radio station that covered culture, travel and food. I would prefer a station that got away from political talk 24/7. I would enjoy shows that focus on science news from around the world, history, culture, food, etc. Has this ever been done before? I wonder how it would go down. Surely people would listen in to a station like that where they cover non-political issues.
Same here, my family members think I'm weird preferring radio to the television/streaming.I think I listen to too much radio and need to sleep more.
You're describing LBC of old before it became a 24 hour national news based station. Well, maybe not quite but it did have travel shows and cooking (even Gino D'Acampo had a short lived show). I still think there's room in the schedule especially at the weekend for some of that kind of stuff.I like Times Radio at 10am too. Thank god for catch up so I can listen back to other shows.
