I’m generally ok with the music that’s on it, but the presenters man.
I don’t want to listen to Jeremy Vine talking about “middle ground” on settled issues to rile up Daily-Mail readers so they phone in and froth.
The only thing it really has going for it is the music playlist, as it does tend to flow well with the day.
Radio 3 and 4 with the grown ups is becoming more and more my jam.
I gave up on Radio 2 some time in the 80s I think. Hardly ever listen to broadcast radio now. I used to have Radio 4 on in the van at work but half an hour listening to sundry lying, evasive politicians and other self-important cunts in the morning tends to put a downer on the rest of your day.
Been listening to greatest hits since Simon mayo went there. They also have Ken Bruce. Best option. BBC radio is terrible these days.
I enjoy Sara Cox’s evening drivetime show. I sometimes wish I didn’t, but when you’re doing yet another 4-hour slog up the M1/M6 in evening rush hour traffic it’s perfect company.
And Zoe Ball can be OK in the mornings, although I’ll often tune into something with a bit less chatter unless I’m feeling particularly enthusiastic. Other than those two shows, R2 doesn’t really do it for me. And yes, Jeremy Vine is utterly off-putting.

I don’t think I’ve listened to the radio for music since I got an mp3 player about 20 years ago!
