Joe Whiley

[andy-hughes]

I have banged on about this dredful woman before, but now i find they are giving her additional airtime - another 30 minutes.

I cannot for the life of me understand the appeal of a woman who is inreasingly talking like a female Bob Harris.

Why does she have to breathlessly love everything, like someone on their first day on campus radio?

She is in her forties, with four children - doesn't she have a shred of dignity?

When I think that the BBC shifted Radcliffe & Maconie out for this nonsense, it makes me seeth!

OK - rant over.

[ummmm]

Is she the one with the irritating voice?

[ck1]

I'm completely with you there, I don't think I've ever seen her but the few occasions I have had my ears savaged by listening to her I know I don't like her!

[andy-hughes]

I think so!

Unless you mean Lisa Tarbuck on Saturday nights.

Someone must have told her that her laugh is fruity / sexy / infectious - because she is doing it all the time, and it makes her sound like she is slightly unbalanced.

C'mon andy, stop mincing words & tell us what you really feel :+)

Can I add Jeremy Vine to the list? he tries to emulate excitable American announcers and sounds ridiculous.

[andy-hughes]

I sunny-dave, I know, I have always been one for hanging back and not really speaking up about things that bother me - i will try harder ...

[humbersloop]

I like Bob Harris...

[andy-hughes]

Jo Whiley is broccoli!!!

[andy-hughes]

How's that?

[Hopkirk]

Oh come on, she is so much more pleasurable to listen to than Evans.

[sunny-dave]

I'd go further andy ...

... "Jo Whiley is Spinach"

[wolf63]

Who is Bob Harris?

I listen to Radio Tay AM at home but when I go in to work on Monday afternoon it is always Radio 2. It is just annoying listening to all the whingeing and it has been known for me to become grumpy with all the Snags that are interviewed or phone in.

Luckily I only work on a Monday afternoon - 3 and a half hours. :-)

I'm listening to Radio 2 more lately, I like a lot of the music played,
the really annoying bits for me is the Jeremy Vine bits of the Jeremy Vine Programme, if he'd just shut the **** up it would be good.

[Hopkirk]

I'm with Andy H on Radcliffe and Maconie - they should have a primetime show on 2

[Misky]

I rarely listen to Radio 2, but I do like Jo Whiley and Lisa Tarbuck.... different strokes and all that.

I remember going off Jo Whiley when she sneered at the bands Billy Pumpkin had selected for her to play - Jane's Addiction and Led Zep.

It's about time Andy Kershaw was back on our radios again. I used to love his Monday evening shows, he had interesting guests & played an eclectic range of music....you never knew what was coming next!
