Hell I've never heard anything so earnestly pretentious in all my life I switched off the Mary Ann Hobbs show today - her breathy, dripping voice was too much to handle, let alone the guff she was warbling on about. She sounds like the female Brian Cox.. however, the Shaun Keaveny show has transitioned well to the afternoon slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm unlikely to find out, I think he's an absolute prick. Even though I'm not Laverne's greatest fan, I am trialling the breakfast show on the way to work, not listened to it since Keavney took the slot. Jury's still out though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His show, his miserablist persona, it's definitely something he's worked on and it/he just comes across as not genuine. It rubs up against me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The breakfast show was great back then. Anyone that plays Curtain Call (all 17 minutes of it) during the peak hour of 8-9 and doesn't care is alright by me. That's breaking the rules not Shaun refusing to be happy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I've spoken to Keaveny twice and he was a knob both times. He might have just been having an off day. Twice. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) I don't know so much about the above but what is really yanking my chain is the fact that i can no longer listen to Absolute (in particular the sumptuously gorgeous milf sarah champion ) on my non-DAB car radio. It's been replaced by something called greatest hits fm and seems to be populated by "used to be famous" DJ types such as Mark Goodier and the like. I am fuming !!!! Ah well, back to stalking/following Ms Champion on Instagram Edited January 10, 2019 by mottaloo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I justify my admiration by stating she is a good DJ, doesn't prattle on and can act as well. The fact that she has a wazzle pair of jugs too is a bonus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's breaking the rules not Shaun refusing to be happy Bill Juniper played good music, but talked far too much. I could just about bear listening. Keaveney, dreadful. Hawkins/Laverne, so far ok. Will prolly go back to the iPod though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I think it's quite surprising that radio seems to be still going strong with podcasts and spotify etc. Do people still phone up to request songs on some stations, surely that's died?

Nope, 6Music even has a show full of "Suggestions" on a particular theme every Sunday evening RadMac have the Chain, which is essentially a request slot, as long as you can use your brain to link the song you want to the previous one in the chain and they haven't played it in the chain before It's usually done by email these days though Radio is still a great source for discovering new music 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Once Radio 1 decided I was too old for them I switched to Shaun Keaveny and enjoyed it, but there seemed to come a point where his listenership figures started increasing rapidly (I assume for the same reasons I switched) and he went a bit too far with his schtick and it got a bit grating. I've not listened to Lauren Laverne on the breakfast show, I used to hate listening to her old show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
