I have been listening to R4 for 11 years now
As soon as I got a 'proper' job that came with a company car I realised that Radio 1 sucks massive balls, I would re-tune for Mark and Lard in the afternoon but would get pissed off with the shite that they'd begrudgingly play (anyone remember them telling you exactly how long a song is so you could go to the toilet or make a cuppa or anything?). I listened to a colleague who sold R4 to me as I'd end up learning about the world and some fairly weird shit whilst driving up and down the country. I've never looked back, although I do listen to Richard Bacon on 5Live now as he comes on at the same time as The Archers (when you find yourself getting into The Archers, that's when you're old).

Oh and Jo Wiley: who the fuck thinks that it's interesting radio for her to say a topical word (like Gaga) and then listen to some idiot trying to spell it correctly?

I'm 33.
