I like Radio 4 Xtra and BBC World Service. I'm getting old.
I like LBC as it gives you the full spread from the loony right to the loony left and everything in the middle.. Nick Ferrari at breakfast is right up there with the best in terms of interviewing politicians and putting them on the spot, even though he's a bit right wing. You then get a healthy dose of the left (or liberal through the day until Edie Mair at drive time and then it's farage o'clock. Iain Dale in the evening is also very good at getting under the guard of politicians and very likeable for a tory. Majid Nawaz is also a very intelligent analyst of world affairs. The adverts can fuck off though. I wish the beeb could acheive a similar spread of views on R4 so I could do without commercial radio.
Don't bother with music radio since streaming/spotify started.
I've been listening to Manchester XS radio the last few months. It's a bit like Absolute Radio without self opinionated DJs waffling shite between tracks.
Well XS used to be great, full of indie and alternative tunes, but it seems like it's become a pop music station just lately. Anyone know why this is?
