i also think
that breakfast radio shows are literally the worst human invention since the iron maiden. in fact, they are significantly more tortuous. it's bad enough getting up for work, when you're crashing around the flat trying to co-ordinate something that looks smart enough without needing ironing, without having to listen to some dullard droning on about how his 5 year old daughter will only eat snap and crackle and not pop from her bowl of Rice Krispies... SHUT UP AND FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF JUST DON'T FORGET TO PUT SOME MUSIC ON BEFORE YOU GO. even worse is when they get members of the public to phone in, squealing like piglets on ecstasy because they are on the radio.

why do all radio stations think people want to listen to this shit in the morning, seriously. i wouldn't pay any of them anything, moyles or anyone, just leave an ipod on shuffle, job done!

I was about to suggest that Radio 4 neatly sidesteps this problem
Before I remembered that "Thought for the Day" sends me into a similarly murderous rage...

i just can't bear talking on the radio at all
one of my old squatters used to listen to talk radio in the morning, it was nothing but taxi drivers screaming for them to bring back hanging or women who've never been further east than cambridge claiming that the burkha is oppressive to other women...

i knew it wasn't just me
i honestly think because most people put the radio on in the morning, the producers look at the figures, and instead of thinking "these people have put the radio on BECAUSE it's morning" they think "ooooh they are loving this waffling garbage gibberish shite, we must repeat it every morning until our unfortunate listeners want to stab themselves over and over in the ear just so that they can bleed to a slow peaceful DJ banter-free death."

I love it when you talk 'angry'.

As if it wasn't bad enough that some pillock is being paid to talk shit
Any wanker with a phone can get on there and talk additional shit. Why is it almost the most pig-ignorant fucktards who decide their pig-ignorant opinion is of sufficient importance to warrant radio airtime?

Bar a tiny number of exceptions ALL radio presenters are ghastly.
There are some OK internet radio things I have found - garagepunk.com and WFMU, but on the whole they are wankers talking bollocks for the benefit of idiots.
