I always liked Mayo when I used to listen to him decades ago. Seems to me he has had enough of it from the social media warriors rather than anything else.

I don't think I ever heard his show with Jo Whiley. I used to listen to the film show with Mark Kermode, but I think it got a bit self-indulgent when it went to 2 hours long. I just watch some of his reviews on Youtube now.

No
He is leaving becuase he had a very successful drivetime show that eveyone loved The Bloated BBC "needed" to show-horn a woman into the schedule so they disrupted the show and stuck her in as a co-presenter, 2 regs on the show duly left. The new show has been horrendous and listeners have left in droves He had enough and has left I think he is going to station SMooth Its a total f ck up by BBC management Last edited by LeatherTrumpet; 22-10-2018 at 12:17 PM. |
