Glad I'm not alone in thinking that about JH. I haven't listened to the Now Show in years because Punt's voice grates and it also has Mitch Benn and his guitar.
The diversity drive isn't all bad though. I did enjoy a comedy series on R4 presented by a female classics scholar all about Greek...
Not radio but is Albion-related...The 2 blokes who do the commentary on the Brighton games for Latest TV are just terrible. I was told that one of them was Bob Booker and I'm sure he's got a lot of love for the club and his reading of a game is excellent but even with that I can't listen to him...
I'm with you on Cerys Matthews. No idea why because I do like a lot of the music she plays and the Welsh accent is supposed to be mellifluous but I just find her extremely annoying.
Is Paul Miller the chap who always comes on after the football on Radio Sussex? If so, I concur. As camp as a Boy Scout jamboree but hilarious in his inane inoffensiveness and the way that he flirts with the old dears.
Panel show comedies on radio 4 that star David Mitchell and/or Jeremy Hardy. There's only so much smugness that any human can reasonably tolerate without wanting to set fire to their own ears.
