Have you ever rang these shows? They are quite popular here, especially during ‘drive time’. There is the ABC one ( like the BBC) which is left leaning and 3 AW which is more right and centre leaning. Personally I have never actually rung them but I quite often listen. Sometimes it is a load of claptrap, sometimes quite interesting. Nearly always criticising government of course from one point of view or other.

I like the radio from Ireland, courtesy and manners seem not to have been forgotten, unlike this country, where rudeness seems to prevail.
The Clarksons, Paxmans, John Humphreys et al can jump in the lake.

John Humphrey should retire (properly) I think.

Radio London is great… Vanessa Feltz’ programme is always enjoyable, varied discussions about current affairs or topical news and no music. Robert Elms is a fantastic source of information, in good times you find out what’s on and where to visit, and during lockdown it kept us very well informed. He also plays ‘grown up’ music during the show. Jo Good is hilarious especially for women of a certain age… so relatable. I much prefer local talk radio for the variety.

Oh- radio London. Takes me back to my early teens and pirate stations, early 60s.

Most talk stations want you to ring in,
as it gives them an indication of how many listeners are tuning in.
