The Radio Thread

PostThe Radio Thread by **Hexx** » Sat Jun 27, 2009 10:18 pm

I've got a big soft spot for the medium of radio. Not the music shows, but the plays, talks, documentaries, stand up, comedy, quiz shows etc.

The Now Show returned this week :wub:

God bless Iplayer.

What do you listen to and why?

Also listening to new shows of:

Just a Minute
The News Quiz'
I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue
That one David Mitchell hosts, whose name I've forgot

And the radio has tons of repeats if you know where to look.

It's just a shame each run seems to be so short (6-8 weeks

)

I listen to ISIHAC. It's back on now, with guest presenters until they can settle on a permanent replacement for Humph.

EDITED: Seems I missed the start of the series! Oh damn!

Talk radio is infinetley better than music radio. Shame theres next to no good talk radio (not sport related) in this country. I listen to five live a lot these days. Used to listen to LBC at lot before it went down the pan

I use Iplayer - cba to muck about with the schedules.

Or you can download things from other channels

Yeah, big fan of the Now Show, not listened to this weeks, sadly, and I like other Radio 4 panel shows, plays when I catch them, Gardener's Question time, which I find relaxing despite not having especially green fingers, and 'Any Questions?'. Occasionally they'll be a documentary which I'll tune in to.

This year's Reith Lectures have been great as well, still have a couple to catch up on. Mark Thomas is doing a series right now, too. Again, which I haven't caught up with yet.

A week from now I'll be back living with my family, who'll gawp at a television all day long. Not watching anything, mind. Just watching whatever bores them the least.

That'd be 'The Unbelivable Truth'

Adam and Joe and The Jon Richardson show on 6 misic are the only ones I listen to every week, I get the Friday Night Comedy Podcast. I try to listen to the Radio1 Rock Show but I keep missing it.

I used to enjoy Dead Ringers on bbc 4 still love listening to just a minute

Hexx, what do you make of the new series of ISIHAC so far? I look forward to seeing how Jack Dee handles the presenter's chair, as I think he can pull off the detached, cynical style much better than Stephen Fry could.

I'll probably get flamed by some but I only really listen to Radio 1. Moyles as I wake up and Mills on the way home.

I sometimes listen during the day, but I can't stand Edith Bowman so I instantly turn off when she's on.
