“The show is great. That is undeniable. However, the intelligence and wit of Kirsty Young is sorely missed. Lauren Laverne is painfully mediocre, which is not in keeping with the history of DID hosts.”

“Desert Island Discs aren’t as good as they used to be. The interviews are boring. The guest is left to speak about long winded family descriptions- instead of their own intriguing life/career.”

“Dare I say it and I whole heartily believe this to be true as I’ve been listening to DID for decades. I think Lauren has surpassed Kirsty Young in being the interviewer. Lauren is more compassionate & gentle with her interview and I think engages with her interviewee better. Well done Lauren!...”Read full review »
