Australia9 days ago - Avoid - Unbearable!
This is unbearable.
Presented by two smug, full-of-themselves, disrespectful, unfunny people who are very entertained by themselves but are actually painful to listen to. The quality of the content is appalling and the presentation style is unbearable.
Worst thing I have ever listened to. Hard to believe the BBC allow this rubbish to be broadcast. I gave it one star because you aren't allowed to give none.
