Has anyone else given up on daytime Radio 2? (feddit.uk)

I'm generally ok with the music that's on it, but the presenters man.
I don't want to listen to Jeremy Vine talking about "middle ground" on settled issues to rile up Daily-Mail readers so they phone in and froth.

The only thing it really has going for it is the music playlist, as it does tend to flow well with the day.

Radio 3 and 4 with the grown ups is becoming more and more my jam.

I used to like phone ins . Then I grew up.

At best , A mass gathering of the confidently incorrect and chronically unqualified. .

I am an anarchist in spirit - but after hearing the phone ins I ended up feeling a dictatorship is the only way to sort these people out, who are unable to think .

All very alienating.

Wait until you listen to BBC Radio Ulster's The Nolan Show

I think Nolan on 5live might have been what tipped me over the edge .

“We’ve Barry on the line, Barry you run a shoe shop in Blackpool, and you wanted to talk about Ursula von Der Leyen’s speech to the Hungarian parliament . Welcome to the show Barry, what would you like to say?”
