Is that Mary Ann Hobgoblin or Liz Kershaw? It really could define either, but I'd have written exactly the same about Kershaw and her mildly wacky, slightly right wing ways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My petty thing today is you. Radio DJs are complete wankpuffins, I'd say around 95% of them are insufferable c***s, you appear to agree that at least two of them here fall into that category. Why listen to them? Why continue to listen to them and then come on here and complain that you need to listen to them? Why not just select your own music on Spotify or the like?

ETA - oh aye - have a greenie for 'wankpuffins' I listen to 6 Music all day at work and the new lineup just doesn't do it for me. Really loved Keavaney in the morning. Funny but gentle, good music, good listener interaction. Doesn't work as well in the afternoon slot IMO. Lauren Laverne then Mary Ann Hobbs are a bit dull and one dimensional and the shows are so similar. RadMac were amazing in the afternoon slot but I'd guess health-wise Radcliffe can't do 5 days now. Steve Lamaq isn't my cup of tea. I think he'd play wall-to-wall Carter USM if he could. Guys like Keavaney or RadMac can rave about a pop tune, or some old hip hop, or dad rock whereas with him the music is too narrow. Could be doing with a general reshuffle as the talent is all there (maybe add a couple of new faces) but the magic just isn't happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
