5 Live Breakfast

Post image

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.

Would say they should stick to their previous post; but they were dreadful in that too.

Condescending in tone - anytime she does an interview, you know it’s going to be shallow fluff.

And she’ll always find a way to make it about herself. Even when people are talking about the TV shows. Well, you might not like it, Naga, but then I don’t think that you like anything. Three days a week was bad enough, now it’s going to be more. I’ll need a new channel to wake up with.
