I have a deep and personal hatred of Christian O'Connell.
Anyone radio 'personaility' who isn't him has an immediate huge advantage from my point of view.

I really truly loathe the wackiness
and as I mentioned earlier, the forced feeling audience participation. I don't think I have ever heard a Radio 1 DJ say anything worthwhile on any subject aside from John Peel.

One of the reasons I like Planet Rock is because when the DJs do talk it is about their experiences as rock journalists or musicians and how it relates to stuff.

Or it's Rick Wakeman, complaining about stuff.

Rick Wakeman is a fabulous raconteur.

indeed he is
many interesting rock related anecdotes.

There's been a lot of stuff about The Doors on recently, which I have enjoyed.

I don't like O'Connell either.
But I do like Geoff Lloyd.

I have known O'Connell since I was 13.
I HATE HIS FUCKING GUTS.

You can't hate him that much if you've stayed in touch for twenty odd years.
As per my other post. Geoff Lloyd is the only DJ they have who is worth listening to, but he is let down by his rent-a-minge in the studio who laughs a little bit too hard at the average bits.

Oh I've not.
I last saw him in the pub in Winchester about 10 years ago.
