“… I used to listen to this show under the old regime, but have avoided it for a couple of years. I tried it now for a week, and it's more or less what I'd expected. Presenters flip-flopping between one opinion and another depending on the guest they are interviewing; "stories" regurgitated from tabloid newspapers and flogged to death (even over different podcasts); a slavish and embarrassing obsession with English soccer; and a general air of cluelessness and amateurishness. The presenters seem to think they are being arch / ironic / witty, but it's the sort of programme that you'd get if you stuck some media studies students in a room for a week, force-feeding them BBC Radio 5, and asked them to come up with a sports show format. They seem keen to have opinions (another technique used by low budget radio stations) so they are welcome to this one.
