I switched off as well. I find Nuala McGovern wooden. She doesn’t seem to fit Women’s Hour.
As for Loren on Desert Island Doscs , she’s awful

I love her voice and at first enjoyed just listening to the sound of her on Woman's Hour but I've gone off her altogether as I think she asks rather "thin" questions in a not very attentive way.

She has a list of pre-prepared questions (I feel) and "pokes them in" whether they fit in the flow of conversation or not. She seems to be afraid of looking at anything in any depth and too often is too afraid of appearing biased by chipping in "well we know others would disagree" in the middle of things.

She is sufficiently experienced, you would think, to be better than this- but again today I have switched her off.

Is it just me?
