I love listening to it because of how ludicrous it is. The presenters would probably have done very well in Germany about 66 years ago.

I can't believe some of the stuff they say and get away with. Listening to a program about immigration at the moment and it really is unbelievable.

The word "Sponger" and the phrase "go back to your own country if its so good there" have featured frequently. Oh and "The Italians had 4 reverse gears on their tanks during the war".

Live in the now FFS.

I'm a talkSPORT listener but some of it is absolute tabloid pish nowadays. John Gaunt is painful to listen to and the punters that phone in just annoy me. In principle I agree with much that is said but the way it is put over is so childish and poor.

Real black cab man stuff :(

Anyway H&J are on now :D

Got to agree on the John Gaunt show. It's either his point of view or get humiliated on air and then cut off before you can defend yourself!!

Does bring a wry smile to my lips every now and again mind! :lol:

I switched over to TS on the sayso of several forumites having gotten annoyed with 5live. TS is even worse.

If you have never heard the mind numbing phone ins at 5.45am consider yourself incredibly fortunate to have been in bed sleeping.

John Gaunt is the acceptable face of British racism and is a total wink.

I dont have words to describe my contempt for him.

I do, and it's the name of the radio station: "Talk Shite".

It was this bloke Gaunt who hosted this racist crap. I would suggest he drop the Ga of his surname and replace it with a C, much more appropriate.

George Galloway and the Morning Breakfast on a Sunday are pretty good, the rest is Sun-esque tabloid rubbish.

Quite amusing to see Andy Townsend turning into Alan Brazil during ITVs Champions League coverage.

The Morning Breakfast with Andy Townsend and Parky Parry is one of the best sports shows on radio! Gets me through then weekend shifts!

I like Gaunty,proper US talk radio. If your thick enough to call in then so be it. The Radio Five guys, post Hutton, are petrified on saying anything about Blair now. I dont think they have even debated oil in Iraq since 911!
