Indeed there is someone on here who tells us we shouldn't be body shaming people. It's a fair point to raise, most people don't 'choose' to be fat any more than people 'choose' to be alcoholics, but then I also think it's good for the health of the nation if we all generally think it's not a good idea to be morbidly obese.

Whiley was missing today, thought Mayo had more connection with Lisa Tarbuck leading to a better show. Somethings going on behind the scenes though, he’s missed 3-4 weeks through holiday or illness and their joint show’s only been going 4-5 months.

I believe it is a sad story of him becoming a recluse after his wife left. I did read quite a vicious article about him a while back. Apparently he used to fly to the U S just to listen to their radio. Sounds obsessive and that has manifested itself in a sad way after divorce.

Worth adding this to:
He added: "Maybe it needs to be said, maybe not but so there is no room for argument I'll be clear.
"I've loved working with the exceptional Jo Whiley and when the show was 'reconfigured ' she was my first and only choice.

"Some of the abuse she has had here has been appalling. Support for a show is one thing, assaulting the dignity of a warm-hearted and loyal friend is another.
"So by all means discuss what's happening here, but let's keep some civility. Thank you. Here endeth the lesson. "


So thats that then.......

I will miss the confessions podcast ...over the years its contained many confessions that have produced real laugh out loud moments

Simon Mayo is leaving and Jo Whiley is moving to 7-9pm slot, so this whole experiment has been a waste of time and they’ve lost a really good drive time show for what?
