Jezza can be hilariously funny, but I hate the way he interrupts guests on the show; he talks over them all the time, with this I,I,I, think, think think stuttering rubbish. I also know he loves his l... See more

Only decent presenter is Ian Collins. Mike Graham turns around every conversation to about himself. And as for that Julia Hartley-Brewer woman, just awful, loves the sound of her own voice, always tal... See more

I used to love the morning breakfast show with Julia, who is intelligent & a serious journalist, not afraid to challenge guests. I don’t understand why Nicola has been given a prime time slot, which h... See more

I enjoy almost all of the shows and the presenters but James Whale needs to be booted off. He is rude, disrespectful and offensive to the callers and his co presenters too. He is acting and playing up to the audience. He is past his sell by date, I am sorry he is ill but that should not be any excuse for it tbh.

Have been listening for around 4 years

Have been listening for around 4 years. The only station that doesn’t follow the herd and has people from both sides of the argument. Questions Brexit, Covid, Global warming and the woke in society. A complete breath of fresh air.

Please tell JHB to cut the length of her questions!!!

I really enjoy TalkTV no nonsense presentation. The only problem is JHB I’m sure she is a lovely lady but please will somebody pluck up the courage to tell her presenting is all about listening, ms Julia seems to think asking questions that just go on and on and on is helpful, it’s not. Keep the questions to under 5 minutes and I will return for now I have switched to GB news until 10!

Kevin O'Sullivan is worth watching…

Kevin O'Sullivan is worth watching thats it. He ought to be given the 4pm slot to replace awful Vanessa who is beyond fake.
Anytime any callers mention vaccine injuries its like NO NO NO we can't have THAT!! Especially Claudia, James Whale who has zero talent. Ash is funny but not allowed to talk. Cundy is beyond vain. Constantly looking up to the camera to look at herself. You're not all that Cundy.
Petri once shut down a caller who wanted to discuss covid vaccine harms. BOOM. HUNG UP.
Mike Graham and Kevin are the ONLY ones who discuss this.
Piers Morgan claims to be "uncensored" but only for him NOT his guests.
He claims that " if we are thinking about it he's talking about it"
To date he AVOIDS anything to do with covid especially VACCINES. He's the same on twitter
Why is that Piers?? Are u paid by Big Pharma?? Dare u to go there.
Gb news way better as they discuss EVERYTHING.

Talk radio is a breath of fresh air in comparison to LBC and BBC. Maybe not all presenters are that good especially Trisha and the late night ones. The most important thing for me personally is it is not a woke station and defo represents the majority of people. JHB and Mike Burke are superb.

Left wing virtue signalling free zone

Left wing virtue signalling free zone. Wish every where was like this. The scurge of the left platform ed on all other media..... maybe something to do with Soros 19 billion a year funding.

Keep broadcast free speech

I find Talk Radio a bit of a mixed bag

I find Talk Radio a bit of a mixed bag.
Julia Hartley- Brewer: her questions are a never ending comma-less tirade of, if this and if that, about fifty sentences rolled into one! Take a breath Julia for heaven's sake!
Mike Graham, is wonderfully grumpy and very entertaining.
Piers Morgan absolutely loves himself, he also interrupts constantly, which is highly irritating.
Trisha is predictably boring - have tried to like her, but she's very awkward to listen to.
Vanessa Feltz is lovely but just needs to lower her voice a bit as female voices can grate when they raise their voice.
Callers are quite often cut short which is annoying, and the presenters cite there is a lack of time, but make time then!
Cristo Foufas is an absolute darling, I really love his presenting style and he is very self deprecating. He's the gay friend all women want in their life!
SAVING THE BEST TILL LAST! The best presenters by a country mile are James Whale and Howard Hughes. Both have completely different styles but their character and knowledge is superb. They both know how to present a very entertaining show. Howard's voice, in particular, is wonderfully relaxing. James's little helper Ash is very droll and funny and winds James up a treat.

Get a grip

Much as I enjoyed talk as of 3 years ago, it's not what it was. JHB talks so fast, she is impossible to follow. Mike Graham is brilliant - pure entertainment. David Bull is superb as is Peter Cardwell, both on Saturday morning. However, Vanessa Feltz, whilst lovely, is eardrum torture and way too lah-di-dah for Talk. Morgan is just an ego in a suit and Trish Goddard is switch over time. Kevin O'Sullivan for 4pm slot please.

Some decent presenters

Some decent presenters. I like Ian Collins and Paul Ross. However the right wing bias is generally appalling. Balance it up and more people will listen. Don't mind right wing views but not 24/7. Mike Graham is terrible.

We desperately need balance…

Strange how many people that hate everything right wing leaning audiences may listen to are first to listen and comment about how terrible TALK RADIO is. Talk radio is a breath of fresh air in a MSM world that is no more than an echo chamber for left leaning views. If you have listening to one presenter on LBC then you have heard them all. We are only arguing over how left can each be. Yes Talk radio got some things wrong. Trisha is beyond terrible. Vanessa is dull and unimaginative. Kyle was a egotistical nightmare. The main part of day with JHB, Mike Graham and Ian Collins is worth a listen.
Don't be fooled by the reviews from listeners that listen to LBC leaving comments on a station that they don't actually listen to.

Ghastly presenters wrapped up in the Daily Mail at its very worst.

One or two of the presenters I have thought to be ok. However the absurd bias and essentially lies on issues such as Ukraine point to their only source of narrative misinformation being The Daily Mail..this combined with Presenters such as Jeremy Kyle and Claire Rainer creates a substantial crock of something you would wish to avoid falling into. This is so far removed from anything resembling independent radio it's heartbreaking. Where can you find voices of truth and reason n the UK.

What on earth has happened to the TalkTV app? If you’re like me and watch on catch-up on the app or record from home to skip through the adds you can for some explicable reason no longer do this. My app was upgraded this morning and while watching last nights Piers Morgan show I was constantly besieged with adds I could not fast forward through. Missed the last half of the show and will no longer tune in. Great shame.
