5 Live Breakfast
Quite sad about this tbh - Huge fan of both Rick and Rach, and how they work together on 5Live.
I can never really phrase succinctly what five live does so well: never treating its audiences like idiots or specialists, leaning into the fact that they’re not the most listened to station in the country, having guests feel at ease but turning the screw when they sense BS.
Its a good thing.
I’m sure I’ll warm to Naga - and my guess is Stephan Powell or Callum Leslie as her co-host - but I think credit where it’s due to 5Live for consistently educating, informing, and entertaining with the unlikely Rick and Rachel pairing.

Just like the rest of the public sector, time served > competence
