Best Radio Show Host ?.

[1066familyman]

Charlie Gillett when he used to be on BBC London. He opened my ears to so much good music from all over the world. Sadly, he died a month or so ago.

 

[The Large One]

Humphrey Lyttleton (RIP) on I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue.

 

[ChapManiA]

Geoff Lloyd on Absolute Radio.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

I like Richard Bacon, but I find him a little too streaky

 

[Ozzy]

Zane Lowe.

Danny Baker, then Peter Allen, different styles, but fantastic. I also like Fi Glover.

Spot on! Fi Glover was superb on late-night radio and is the best reason to listen to Saturday morning radio 4 - she was the only one to come away from that ridiculous Nicky Campbell / Victoria Derbyshire embarrassment with any dignity.

Adrian Chiles morning show was unmissable a few years back; Johnny Vaughn on the original Fighting Talk, likewise; I was a big fan of Simon Mayo, but that doesn't seem to be a popular choice in these 'ere parts.

rick wakeman with Kid Jenson on Planet Rock. Enjoy Alice Coopers show as well

 

[Easy 10]

Dover called it from the off. Danny Bakers show is an ESSENTIAL podcast for me every week, and Peter Allen is just quality. Love his wry "hmmmm's "

I also think Comedy Steve does a damn good job with his interviews. Thoughtful questioning and an easygoing manner with a few laughs.

 

[R. Slicker]

Yep, Danny Baker every time.
Chris Evans creeps into 2nd place for making me finally realise i don't HAVE to listen to Brazil & Irani any more.

The above plus Danny Baker, the Test Match Special crew, Peter Allen and (RIP) John Peel and Thomas the Vance.

Chris Moyles

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Scott mills on radio 1 for me!

Another vote for Scott Mills here

 

[WATFORD zero]

Peter Allen - 5 live - grumpy old gits of the world unite

 

[KNC]

Can't stand Allens nasal tones.
My favourite has to be James O'Brian on LBC

 

[vegster]

Yep, Danny Baker every time.
Chris Evans creeps into 2nd place for making me finally realise i don't HAVE to listen to Brazil & Irani any more.

Valid point, The Ginger Whinger has upped his standards in the last few years and is a quality broadcaster. I used to listen to Brazil but lost interest after they parachuted Irani in. I think that Talksport need to realise that you can't just create a sporting broadcaster by signing up a big name ex sportsman, ref, Gough and Wright.. Irani is awful.

On a positive thought, it has to be Baker and Allen for me. Baker is required listening on saturday mornings and quite often I am almost crying with laughter. Peter Allen is a fantastic serious broadcaster who has a great style and asks some awkward questions with a wry style.

Chris Evans, although Kermode and Mayo is the best weekly show.

 

[Tomnorthi]

Geoff Lloyd on Absolute Radio.

Yes and Dave Gorman on absolute.

 

[fire&skill]

Richard Bacon is awesome...

He's built a career impersonating Alan Partridge! Did you hear him interviewing Phillip Pullman last week? Awful & embarrassing! Pullman ended up talking to him like he was a child.

I actually think Tony Livesey is very good. Natural and genuine. As is Colin Murray who spoke to my son on Five Live a few weeks ago about scoring flukes in a football match.

Two words for Bacon and Stephen Nolan: Talk. Sport.

 

[Rookie]

Moyles, the only person/show I actually make sure I tune in for. If around Zane Lowe does a good job.

 

[Dr Q]

Evans, closely followed by Mark Radcliffe
