  • Fantastic

    What a great host Jesse is. I really appreciate his sense of humour and friendliness towards the guests. His questioning is great and I’ve switched from nine to noon to afternoons as a result.

  • Failed comedian

    Apparently a tendency towards inane giggling at inappropriate moments must have been the entry qualification on the day some other idiot hired him. Another road mark on Radio NZ National deciding that their target demographic should be the brain dead.
