I only really listen to RadMac and Roundtable on listen again since the reshuffle sadly. She’s definitely preferable to Keaveney! Plays good tunes and no annoying “bantz”.

Miss RadMac in the afternoons ? I miss the "bantz", she does play some top tunes though. Keaveney works great in the afternoon slot though for me, I tend to catch that slot more anyway making my lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss RadMac in the afternoons ? I dunno, I enjoyed SK in the mornings, possibly because I only listened during my 40 minute drive to work, so it was a small dose. Plus his self-deprecating and the whole 'i'm crap' persona was a decent mid-point between Radio 4 (which can get depressing after a while) and some god-awful faked collective jollity at silly o'clock on a work day. Lauren is great though IMHO, although she when she refers to social media as 'the socials' I cringe a bit. I do miss RadMac. MAH is the Queen for me though.

Tartan_Glasto Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Should have known it wouldn’t be today. I’ve the day off work and would have had ample time to digest it all. I am not that lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's always been my favourite of the 6 Music Dj's and sadly I don't get to listen as much as I used to as her breakfast show clashes with dog walk time for me. I still hear a bit just not as much.

buffy394 Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Consensus from my group/twitter is that Emily and Lauren will reveal a few big names during show to be shortly followed by full line up drop that afternoon. Based on nothing but pure speculation mind...however it does make sense that they would want to use the show to actually announce something rather than purely to discuss line up.

Idk I can't see there being yet another radio interview where she has to restrict what she says because the lineup hadn't been announced yet.

gherkin8r Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 I really like the Lauren Laverne show in the mornings, tunes are always top notch. Few of the other shows I can't listen to at all due to presenters doing my nut. Cerys Matthews I am looking at you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb23 Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Think it'd be pretty cool if EE announced the full line ups for the five main stages by day on the show. And then the poster comes out after the show. EDIT: Just remembered West Holts has already done that. Edited May 28, 2019 by mb23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there's a big fat name missing from the poster that they are gonna drop on Friday? You are right though it also seems strange to drag it out further like that if the line up is imminent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam1981 Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 If the MPs really cared, they'd force through a law that ensures Glastonbury announcements have to come swiftly and without all this secrecy and long drawn-out process. The status quo means that the country's workforce productivity is at a low ebb as we all spend waaaaay too much time speculating about announcements that may or may not come and refreshing pages endlessly. Not to mention the environmental effect on all the unnecessary screen time which is powered by fossil fuels... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

found home in 2009 Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 I definitely prefer Lauren Laverne doing 6 music morning show. Felt like Shean Keaveny never shut up. It's meant to be a music show, not a talk show and I found his constant putting himself down predictable rather than charming. So glad they made the change. She's a billion times better than him IMHO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
